1.2121 is a much wider pixel, Mike. If your camera has square pixels, you must use the square pixel setting always when working with footage.

A lot of the older HDV cameras cameras shooting 1440x1080 used that pixel size to end up with the correct 16:9 aspect ratio.

Shooting 1920x1080 and 1280x720 have the 16:9 ratio built in, using square pixels.
