If turning on Pixel Aspect Ratio correction make the ellipse look round then your comp is not set to Square Pixels and your render will be fouled up if you use any of the standard H.264 presets or publish the final video to YouTube. Nobody uses nonsquare pixels for delivery anymore. They have not done so since HD became the video standard for broadcast and cameras stopped using videotape.
