i have a file that reads as widescrean, i adjusted the project to read as widescreen, vegas preview window shows a widescreen image, but with all of this my external monitor image (non-widescreen monitor) looks warped. Why? Can i fix this?
Your old 4:3 monitor is incapable of displaying 16:9.
Best solution, buy a modern monitor that can.
There is someone down here doing 16:9 conversions on old Sony monitors. Hardly an ideal solution. They add a switch that reduces the vertical deflection so 16:9 displays correctly.
