Your original 16 x 9 HDV footage is 1440 x 1080i at a pixel aspect ratio of 1.33. So I don't know what that 640 x 480 means, since that is a standard def (4x3) frame size.

If you want to output a nice quality WMV movie for the web using your editing app , here is what you need to do.

Edit it, output to WMV at 3500 video Kbps rate, SQUARE PIXELS (1.0) with stereo audio at say 1280 x 720. You have to change the pixel aspect ratio, otherwise the output will be distorted. The resulting video look pretty decent at that frame size without being too huge in file size. Or you can do a smaller size at 480 x 270 at 1500 Kbps. In both cases make sure you de-interlace the footage on the timeline or on export. That is also very important. Always de-interlace if you are filming with a interlaced camera like teh Sony FX-7 and always export with square pixels.
