speed edit showing cropped video, but jpegs full screen

[ken07]

I was making a wedding ending today..and saved some 4:3 jpegs and video clips dv analog in 4:3 format. I had bought a hd monitor recently to hook to output of the vt5. I had a couple of clips in hd that were shot in hd and captured by firewire in hd. I put them up but somehow they were cropped and did not fill the entire screen..so I went to prefs adn changed to 16:9 format. Didnt work so I switched it back to 4:3 format.
Now when I went to my project, on my 4:3 tv monitors, it shows the video clips squeezed narrower than they should be. They fill the top of the tv but are almost like they are squeezed in about 15% on each side. I don't know what I did, but all my old clips that were good, do this too.
Anyone have any idea what I might have done, how to check this out and
if I may have a corrupted file?
When I go to the control tree, and click on positioning, I see that my
box is in the 16:9 format, not 4:3...Is there more than one place besdies near the top of the prefs panel, that might be forcing a wierd read. Its like the video clip is right but its stuck inside a 16:9 box in the positioning in the control tree panel. I am confused.
3bogie@mhtc.net thanks so much for any help...cant finish a big project.

Opps, nevermind, I misread the problem.

Have you tried a Save As (for safety) and then reloading the original project (which I gather was 4:3)?

thanks guys, you steered me in a right direction. I actually saved the project when the default was in 16:9...so when I changed back to 4:3, I had saved the project in 16:9 and did not realize why I could not get out of it.. I noticed the window said 16:9....I just recropped the video and will not mess around next time!
