On a side note:
alt+print screen (Windows) puts a copy of the active window on the clipboard. You can then paste ctrl+v into any app that supports image files.
print screen by itself, puts the entire screen on the clipboard.
I'm not sure why they don't just change the damn button "screencap" or something.

aside from your PAR being set to 1.5 (..it should be set to 1.333) your doing everything fine. im willing to bet that its just the prgram your playing back the fle in simply doesnt recogniz PAR (pixel aspect ratio) and therefore it does not anamorphically change your image dimensions back to 16:9 on display.
alternatively, instead of making a DVCPRO HD 960 x 720 file at 1.333 PAR you can just export a 1280 x 720 file using square pixels. that way you dont have to worry about PAR and it will show up correctly in any program at the naitive frame size without any anamorphic concerns.

Thanks for all of the replies. Neil, I have tried all of the settings, and I have exported as quicktime and Windows AVI. I finally got the footage to not be squeezed, but it was still in a 4:3. So I had letterbox. I was trying to export a completely uncompressed file so I could work in After Effects. Does anyone have a good workflow idea for after effects, premiere, encore? I want to keeep the video quality as high as possible the whole time. As little compression as possible.
Thanks

I can't figure it out.
I can't figure it out.
Ok, well I have tried changing all of the settings and I continue to get a squeezed 4:3 product after exporting. I am working with an HVX200 in HD. I have uploaded a few pics to show you my export settings. I hope that someone can tell by these what I am doing wrong.
This is what the final product looks like. It is squeezed......
These are my general export settings in Premiere Pro....
These are my video export settings.....
And this is what it looks like when I import the footage into After Effects, squeezed.....
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.....

again, your doing everything RIGHT already. windows media player doesnt always account for pixel aspect ration correction (PAR), so its not going to play it back at the right aspect ratio. ..and in AE you just need to turn on your pixel aspect ration correction for your monitor window to view it in the right PAR ..in your screen shot above, its the little button in the monitor window to the right of where it says "one view" directly underneath the guy in the image.
whats important to understand is that your image is 960 x 720. that IS 4:3 , but the pixels should not be displayed as square. they should be displayed at a ratio (or PAR) of 1.33 times thier normal square width, which then makes the image 16:9 in shape, and the equivalent of 1280 x 720 in square pixels. ...so what im saying is that windows media player reads your file as 960 x 720 which it IS ..and does not know its supposed to be stretched, because windows media player doesnt always recognize Pixel aspect ratios unless its encoded into a WMV or other more media player central type file . ..so it plays it back as a 4:3 aspect ratio based off assuming the pixels are normal square pixels
so again . your not doing anything wrong. you just need to turn on pixel aspect ratio corretion in AE to see it at its correct aspect ratio. ...and again, if you want to export a file that will play in any compatable player withut worrying about whether or not it will recognize and use that files correct PAR, just export a 1280 x 720 SQUARE PIXEL file. then any player will play it back at the correct aspect ratio. and as a previous poster mentioned, if your exporting this file for usage in AE, you could just export/open your ppro project in AE via dynamic link, or copy/paste.
also in your export settings for PPRO, you should uncheck that little box in the bottom right of the video tab settings that says "recompress"
