I think I've figured it out, but if someone could verify my results, that would be great. I think I need to design at 1365x768. Using the information from the VCD stills page and other pages I found, I built a little aspect ratio converter that, given the number of pixels high and wide the destination platform is, and the display aspect ratio, it will calculate what width/height you should design at.
If anyone wants to offer comments, that would be great, as dealing with the various aspect ratios has me tipping on the edge of insanity.
