John, You might be leaving out a step or 2.
For HDV 720p (Before v. 3) you have to open up your 720p bins in a 30i or 1080i/30i project. At that point yes it looks like crap. Then you reformat your timeline (add a track at top) 14:9 or 16:9 and after you render it looks fine but before the render looks like crap. Before you do this yes it looks crappy. Version 3 you can mix HDV 720p, HDV 1080i etc etc and you pick your raster size for the entire timeline.
Until Chris reponds, I'm still not clear as to what his specfic issue is. Avid pan and scan and more importantly Avid Pan and Zoom (Yes there are 2 different pan and scan efx in Avid)
has always worked great at at maintaining the original rez of any stills. So I have not come to the same conslusions. AFX works great as well.
Cheers.
