Is your camera actually recording in 16:9 or is it similar to mine in that it still records at 4:3 only you have to little black bars produced on the footage by some shutters in front of the lens on the camera itself?

i dont think its that as when i play it on the camera itself on the little screen on the side of the camera , it plays in 16:9 its only on the pc it encounters the problem .

It'll be 16:9 FHA, i.e. proper 16:9.

It makes it 16:9 by recording oblong pixels, there will be a setting in vegas somewhere for either 16:9 or more likely 'anamorphic'. what you effectively have to do is stretch the video to 133.3% of its current width, but vegas should do this for you automatically if set-up correctly.

I've never used sony vegas so cant be of any more use.
