I figured it out. My son had already rendered the M2T clips as WMVs in a format that was 4:3 ratio with “widescreen” in the center. When I tried to re-render them as an MPG in widescreen format it would not work (which does not surprise me). Tonight I grabbed two non rendered M2T clips and put them in the Sony Vegas media line and then I grabbed one of his rendered clips. I rendered all three as an MPG2 and voila! When I projected the image the first two filled the screen to the edges perfectly while the rendered showed me what I figured it would: letter-boxed in a 4:30 ratio with black bars all around. This means my son will have to re-edit his project from the ground up but…that’s okay, it’s a learning process.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Thanks John,

I’ll have to check the settings that my son used to capture the video but since it’s already in letterboxed form my assumption is that it has to deal with DVD Architect – not Sony Vegas. I’ll have to check the settings in that program. (Version 5.0)

I’ll re-check the render, too – to make sure it’s widescreen. I’m positive it is.

If you have any other ideas – would love to hear them.

Thanks again.

Matt
