Changing aspect ratio while capturing DV?

Gang,
Is it possible to set the Video Capture to actually capture video in widescreen format that was originally recorded in 4:3? The reason I ask is that I captured a tape this weekend which was 4:3 format, but when it appeared in the media pool, all of a sudden it was in widescreen format. The project settings are for NTSC DV standard. If I check the properties of the media clip itself, it shows up as NTSC DV Widescreen. Did I capture it wrong, or is the video on my HD actually in 4:3 and I'm just viewing it wrong?

Thanks all!

In Vidcap, Vegas, and DVD Architect there is a switch (usually on the context menu for the video image) called "Simulate Device Aspect Ratio" or "Display Square Pixels" (older name) that will do what you want.
