Export a Quicktime Reference file out of Avid, then load that to Squeeze. If this is a 23.976 project you can find great instructions for Squeeze settings in the Resource section of www.24p.com

Here's a great method that krestofre gave to me.
Once you finish your edit, make two new video tracks. On the lower of the two tracks make add an edit at the begining and end of the track then apply a 16:9 mask effect to that track (that effect is in the Film category in the effect pallet).
Then, on the higher of the two new video tracks add and edit at the beginning and end again, then add a Resize effect (under Image in the effect pallet). Go into the effect controls and scale the image vertically until the 16:9 mask disappears (I believe that the vertical number will be 133).
This will make you video look incorrect. Everyone will be stretched. That's OK. Export a QT ref of that timeline, then in Sorenson encode it with the 16:9 flag set. Then the resulting MPEG-2 file will be properly resized by the software or DVD player, depending on what you're using.
Hope this helps the Avid folks.
The compression method in Sorenson I have been using is as follows.
Video Output: MPEG2
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Field Encoding: Progressive
Data Rate: 8000 kbs.
Method: Constant Bit Rate
Format: NTSC
I Frame Rate: 6 Frames
Hope this helps!
