Aspect ratio problems!!

Hi there gang,

Ok every time i try to export a vid from Final Cut it always produces a 4:3 film instead of a 16:9. Because the aspect ratio was recorded in 16:9 the image is just squashed and looks horrendous. It never used to be like this and then someone borrowed my computer and hey presto it sucks.

Everytime i try to export i change the settings each time as you can do when exporting with the quicktime converter, but golly it always comes out crappy.

If you could aid me i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks guys and dolls
