Widescreen worries

[Klaus Christo]

I have been using uvs9 for a while now (since it first came out actually) as well as vs8 and 7, Also I am trying to put my movie onto dvd in widescreen format for the first time now, I captured the video in widescreen (or so I thought) but when I check the project properties it is always set on 4:3, if I try to change it the picture goes into the postbox style and I loose most of my picture.

i always thought you had to leave the non square rendering on. can someone explain what the heck it is?

Also can someone tell me if its ok for the properties to be 4:3 even though its widescreen?
