Should widescreen SD footage be in a 16:9 project?

[Oscarface]

I have footage that I'm capturing right now, that was shot with a standard definition camera in widescreen mode. From what I gather, standard definition widescreen footage is actually 4:3 with black on the top and bottom that has been either stretched or cropped to give the illusion of a 16:9 image.

 

So when I import this footage into a videowave project, should I make that project a 16:9 project or a 4:3 project. What will be the difference between the two options when I'm viewing it on DVD?

You have been asking that question since July and getting the same answers.

 

Think it might sink in at anytime???

First part...wrong.

 

Second part....If it is shot in 16:9, create a 16:9 production, in VideoWave.
