Hi! I checked the subject if anybody has the similar problem, didn't find, my original clip is shot in 16:9, so I finished my project as VV3 supports for the ratio.
Questions: 1) after I tape it back into my camera it looks great as 16:9 in the camera preview monitor, but when I play it for my tv from camera it jumps anarmophic look, why my tv doesn't show as I can see it in camera monitor.
How I can fix this problem.

Because your camera doesn't know what kind of TV you are playing it to. The 16:9 anamophic picture you are seeing would be perfect for a display that supports 16:9. A 4:3 display does not have hardware in it to scale vertically to 16:9, so the camera would have to do it. Your only chance is if the camera has a playback menu item to set the display type to 4:3 so that 16:9 material will be letterboxed. This is how DVD players work for anamorphic material, there's always a menu for what kind of display you have. If you don't have a setting for this, use Vegas to render your video to 4:3 and it will letterbox it for you; it will be 4:3 material with letterboxing, though, instead of anamorphic 16:9.

Well, I found the solution but didn't understand what is the technical explanation. What I did is: when it rendered I choose either way, dv widescreen ntsc and dv ntse, because my original clip shot in 16:9, so everytime I choose widescreen and I could watch it in camera monitor perfectly as you said because it supports 16:9, but when I played it to my tv it turned in anarmophic, but once I tried normal dv ntsc instead of widescreen, so when it taped I got result in my camera as 16:9 and also it played in my tv as 16:9, I don't know what could be the technical reason, I am sure you will know the reason. Anyway thanks a lot for your technical information.
