So I bought a lot of cameras that supports 1280x720 with the idea to resell these cameras. I dropped off a camera at a local office near me that called to say their old camera broke so I told them great news, I have some at my house.
I go to the office to see that this is what Schick CDR does with 1280x720 images:
Yeah, so scaling 16:9 to 4:3 looks like terrible too. So I modified 2 dll files quite a bit to produce this and it works great: I had to use IDA and ResourceHacker.
With Carestream STV Plugin, they can use cameras above 640x480 and save images above 640x480 but while you are previewing 1280x720 you see it has 640x480 which is annoying.
Carestream STV uses on a file called Videoskin.zip, and it has xml and png files inside, and this is used to build the dialog and control the video window size! So I made the png files bigger, moved the buttons lower, and told the video window to be 1280x720:
