Sounds like After Effects isn't compensating it's cameras for non-square
pixels. Naughty. You should be able to do a direct scaling of the fov,
either horizontal or vertical, basing it on the pixel ratio. If it's
animated then you'll need to scale the fcurves in after effects. If that's
not possible then you may get away with scaling fov back in XSI. Wherever,
it'll be a factor of the pixel ratio, or it's reciprocal.
