16:9 -->4:3 letterbox?

What is the best way (in the Platinum edition) to convert a true (anamorphic) 16:9 original into a version (print to tape, ie not to DVD) suitable for a 4:3 screen with the original presented in a letterbox format? If the best method is described in the pdf version of the Vegas 6.0 manual, just refer me to the page number(s).

You want the "MovieStudio" forum (Platinum edition).

The best way is to create a 4:3 project, drop your 16:9 footage on the timeline, and render. If for some reason Vegas doesn't recognize the clip as 16:9 then right-mouse-button click on it, choose Properties, Media, and change the Pixel Aspect Ratio to widescreen.
