Framesize in old film

I'm using a clip from NASA of the Apollo 11 mission.

They gave it to me on Beta, which I nconverted to Mini DV and captured. On the VV timeline, it looks like a plain old 4:3 image, filling the widescreen preview window top to bottom, leaving black bars on either side.

But when I render it as MPEG-2 using the 720 x 480 widescreen DVDA video stream template, it plays back smaller, with black above and below as well on the sides.

All of the specs Vegas provides indicate that it's 720 x 480.

What can I do about this?

Check to make sure your DVDA project is also widescreen and that you are rendering out from Vegas using the DVDA WS template.

Yup.

Both of those are correct.

I had a similar problem which might be related to yours. I was playing back in Windows Media Player Version 9. See here.
