I am a complete novice with this. I have made basic home DVD's using Vegas Pro 8 which came out great and the footage was recorded as 16:9 when recording to Mini DVD with my camcorder. I took this footage with an SD card which only allows 4:3. I did not know that you cant expand 4:3 into 16:9. So my mistake.

I have so much to learn. I have had Adobe suite for about a week now and well I hope to laugh at my mistakes now in the future.

Different issue ... (he was using a 1:1 PAR).

I managed to get my video to come out correctly. I am still so very new to this and learning as much as I can. You guys sure do help big time and I really thank you all for the help I have received.
