That’s some old kit. OK your Pannie can record in 16×9, so that’s widescreen. It is miniDV so that’s tape and scratchy my memory cell, you need to wrangle that too for 16×9. Now, VP7… again my brain cell is struggling with this.
So, in essence, a camera that can record in 16×9 can be edited in Vegas; keep its ratio and then output to a format that itself is 16×9. But then you’d need to confirm that the means to screen is 16×9.
So, to answer your question, a camera should do what you want if it is in specs; VP will do it to. But then the way you’re going to view it needs to be conformed to 16×9.
I should have asked – why? Why are you this far into editing with old kit needing to do this? Are you selling this form an older user?
Intriguing. . . .
