PP CS3 – mixing 16:9 & 4:3 ??
I live in the UK where we use PAL, if that has any bearing on my problem.
I have been given footage to edit from 2 different cameras, one a widescreen, the other 4:3 – i know not the spec of the cameras, all I know is some of the footage is widescreen, and the rest is not.
If I edit this footage in a PP CS3 project that is set as DV PAL Standard (i.e. 4:3) will the widescreen footage be automatically adjusted on the export to AVI after editing?
I want to avoid resizing within PP CS3 at all costs if I can!
Advice please!

You should be able to mix the 16:9 footage into the 4:3 project no problems. So long as you interpret the Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) as 16:9 widescreen.
Don’t adjust the width scale in Motion, the clip should cut off the side if it has been interpreted properly (as 16:9).
When you export you need to be sure to do it with the 4:3 aspect ratio and pixel sizes. (PAL 720×576 PAR 1.067) (NTSC 720×486 PAR 0.9)
