Depends on the case. There often are 720x480 videos that, if forced to 4:3, give a wrong AR, with the image looking like it's expanded vertically. OTOH, if the quality issues aren't that bad, some postprocessing and re-encoding can fix it.
Again, though, these are things that the editor should take in consideration when exporting and compressing, not the watcher.

Umm, 720x480 is never giving the correct aspect ratio...unless you crop and resize it to be that way for some strange reason.

And with media player classic too, that's not what I wanted to say. Uhm... my english limits oblige me to use an example: if the moon is round at 720x480, forcing the AR to 4:3 with the media player will make the moon look like an oval. That's what I meant with wrong AR when forcing.
Anyway I shouldn't force the footage to the right AR when watching. Indeed it's easy and fast to do, so it's no real matter for me to do, but still it's up to the editor to set up and encode everything properly.
