I record a combination of 16:9 and 4:3 video. I like to view both on a widescreen display, but prefer to see the 4:3 video with bars on the sides to avoid distortion. Using VideoStudio, how can I accomplish this?
The templates for each clip is in the appropriate format. I set the authoirng setting at 16:9. The menus look correct and the videos start to play correctly then stretch to fill the screen. Each clip is a seperate video file that I pull into the authoring phase.
Although I have not tried it lately, I belive with the demo software I tried before I bought the full version, I accomplished this. However, I do believe I had combined multiple formats in the same clip.
Can anyone give me any guidance on this?
How do you display on a 16:9 monitor a 4:3 image with bars?

Oops (I had originally posted a reply suggesting that you simply use 16: but it didn't work either) - I see what you mean.
I haven't looked by while you wait for a more experiences member to answer I suggest that you try doing a 'search'. Click on SEARCH (centre top of web page) and enter aspect ratio as the search topic (entering 4:3 doesn't find anything) and select Videostudio as the forum to search. You will get a lot of posts and you will just have to wade through them. There could be a previous post asking the same question.

Trevor has a nice tutorial on 16:9 and 4:3, you can view it here:

Making a 4:3 video display correctly in a 16:9 frame is pretty straight forward.
Go into the burning module from an EMPTY Timeline.
In the Burning Module make your project 16:9.
Make sure your 4:3 video is already dvd compliant (you don't want it re-rendered). Insert the 4:3 Video into the timeline.
The first timeline of the burning module may not display the 4:3 correctly in the 16:9 box (may appear small). It will be displayed correctly in the Preview DVD section and also when you play the dvd back in a dvd player.
The key is in the burning module to use a 4:3 video in a 16:9 project without re-rendering the video. You can also add 16:9 videos.
