It sounds like your new sequence is still anamorphic. Does it show you a 16:9 or 4:3 window in the Canvas when you open it? Check the anamorphic box is unchecked on the sequence settings.

PS – I assume you are using DV or SD timeline, not a widescreen HD format?

i am using DV PAL timeline and the anamorphic option is not checked!!!
by the way what is the difference between 4:3 and 5:4?
2- when i move my master seq to the new 4:3 seq should the anamorphic option be checked!!! -
Your original sequence should be anamorphic. Your output sequence should have the same settings, but not be anamorphic. Dropping the original anamorphic sequence in the non-anamorphic sequence will letterbox it. Additionally, depending on what you’re doing with the tape, you could just uncheck the the anamorphic box on your original sequence settings, and output the now distorted sequence to tape. On recapture just mark as anamorphic and you’re back to 16×9 without ever having lost pixels to black bars on your tape. If you’re outputting to display, the letterboxed version may be preferred.
I’m not positive, but I think the difference between 4×3 and 5×4 has to do with the respective resolutions of NTSC and PAL video (720×480 vs 720 x 5 – something).
Hope that helps,
Zak
