Render to an HDV 1440x1080i template.
If you want 1920x1080, change the width, pixel ratio, and level manually.

Width = 1920
Aspect = 1:1 square
Level = High

But that does not give me a .mpg file, which is what I need.

It isn't possible to do what you want. you have to render as m2ts and than via third party converter like aiseesoft to change it to mpg.

If you are trying to keep it as a 1920 X 1080 in a mpg it will never happen. So if you trying to change the width and height from 720 x 480 it is trying to tell you, "oh no you're not"

If it has to be mpeg 2 just select NTSC Video stream and change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and leave the rest alone. Then see if the results are suitable.

If you use one of the Bluray Templates it will be a 1920 x 1080 mpeg, IF you first go to Customize Template

1) make sure output type is MPEG2
2) Select the System Tab
3) De select "Save as Elementary Streams"
4) Click to another tab (this is a small bug, any tab will do)
5) Select System Tab again
6) On "Stream Type" change to PROGRAM.

Now your file ends with MPG. Normally in this process you would also select to mux audio with the MPEG file.

They are all MPEG files, it is the delivery, not the encoding that varies. An M2V is an elementary stream of video, M2TS is a transport stream and an MPG is normally a program stream.

This is good information re: Transport stream vs. program stream.
