Gday all!
Been using PD9 since it came out, for editing wedding videos..
Been very satisfied with it, except for a snag that I came across today.
Imported some standard definition footage, from Canon HFS20, "widescreen" but it turns itself to 4:3 ratio on the timeline??????
Set to 16:9 widescreen PAL in settings???
Plays back as widescreen in Windows Media Player???
This footage was converted from HD to SD using the HFS20s on-board convertor
what am I doing wrong?????

Right mouse click on the footage in the timeline and select "Set aspect ratio" and adjust to your desires and see if that corrects the issue.

Well, thanks for that JL_JL,! That sorted it!
Sort of quirky, that it happened in the first place though, never had it happen before...
Just re-built my puter, new motherboard and Nvidia Graphics card!! Had a couple of odd things happen since then.
Thanks again for the tip........................
