I have an mpg movie whose content is widescreen but displays in 4:3, all the figures are tall and thin. if i take it into videowave widescreen it puts black bars down the side. can i force it to widescreen?

As a starter, please describe the source or how the mpg movie was created/captured. If you play it using Windows Media Player, does it show as widescreen at all? What version of EMC8 do you have (Suite or Deluxe)?

There is an excellent discussion about true wide screen and letter box display in this thread. Hope it helps.
