Hi, I'm using Sony Vegas Pro 13 and I experienced weird issue.
I have a video file in resolution 1440x1080 (ratio 4:3). When I open it in Vegas, the video is instantly stretched to 16:9 ratio for unknown reason. Why Vegas do not keep the original 4:3 ratio?
Have you checked your Project Properties?

I think this is probably because Vegas assumes it is anamorphic HDV, which is that same resolution and should be stretched to 16:9.
In Project Properties set your pixel aspect ratio to 1.000 (Square). Select the clips (video stream only, not audio), right click > Switches > uncheck "Maintain aspect ratio".
If you use "match media settings" in Vegas and it stretches the video, I recommend downloading a freeware media analyzer app such as Media Info, to take a look at the file header information. If the header information is correct and Vegas is the only app you are seeing these symptoms in we can obtain a small example file from you which you are seeing this issue with and look into that further.
I am curious where this footage came from. Is there a camera that actually produces 1440 x 1080 video that IS NOT 1.33 pixel aspect ratio ?

It helped. Thanks!
