Video Stretched After SFVX Created

I notice that when you drag a video item into DVDA2, it creates a SFVX item for video, much like the SFK for audio.

Well, if I close DVDA2, and later try to make a compilation, and I drag a video file onto the storyboard(menu), the thumbnail is stretched out! It looks like it is now widescreen! In fact, when I hit PREVIEW, the actual video is like this too.
I have to close DVDA2, delete any SFVX that have been created, and the start from scratch and let DVDA2 create the SFVX's from scratch. This happens every time I try to use a video file that DVDA2 has created SFVX's for in a previous session.

In addition, I just discovered if I save a session as a DAR file, then open it later, all my video has become "widescreen" looking as well!
The only way to fix this is to delete any SFVX files in the working folder first, then open the previously save session.

Is this a bug?
I always only use the regular 720x480 NTSC format (default) for DVDA2, and the videos are already pre-encoded as 720x480 NTSC in TMPGENC.

We've had one other report of this problem. However, so far, we have been unable to repro it.

Ah, ok.
So far, I've only noticed it when I use TMPGENC to output in DVD Variable encoding, with PCM audio and it outputs seperate m2v and wav files.
It doesnt do it to say, divx videos.
Maybe it has something to do with variable bitrate encoding of mpg2 files?
