well playing around and testing things but thought I'd ask in here. I have a 3min music video shot in hd and captured with aspect hdlink. now finished with the editing and want to export as the highest quality dv avi that I can. so under the export settings, I choose dv avi then dv ntsc (not the 24p advanced being that it's 29.97) then do i leave the P.A.R. setting at 1.33 anamorphic (which seems to mess up the video) or to i change it to 16/9 widescreen? I also checked the de-interlace box. btw, after I have the DV file I'm gonna run it through an encoder I just bought to burn to dvd. just trying to maximize my quality :)

Are you wanting to export in widescreen, full screen, or letterbox?

You should choose 16x9, but be forewarned that premiere's downconverting to SD is rather poor. There is a thread somewhere around about this subject.
