Hello,

Thank you for responding very quickly.
I have always overruled this option thinking it was limited to 4:3, because I tested it once. Now that you mentioned it again, Iwent there, and selected:
MPEG –> DVD PAL –> and clicked CUSTOM
there I selected Video Quality = BEST, and on the next TAB, I found the 3 video formats: 4:3, 16:9 and 2.21:1

I selected the 16:9 and rendered the video.

Now, for 105-second video clip, I get a 90MB Mpeg file 🙂
I have burned a DVD with it, and displayed it on my TV using a desktop DVD player. Awaesome! 🙂

Now, I need to ask this:

In the near future, I intend to invest in a Blue-Ray Writer Drive and a Desktop HD DVD player.

Do I just need to backup the .MTS files along with my VEGAS project to re-create/render the files in HD format? Can I safely delete the actual files from my HD-FULL camcorder to make space for my next trip now that I have the .MTS files?
