Problems with Vegas when creating AMV

[vemalas]

So i have this problem, creating an amv and exporting it i've noticed that:

I just happen to have black frames all around in 4 directions: up, down, left, right. The thing is video is smaller than it should be, and dark borders surrounding it.

That's probably it.. yeah, that's the problem.

A bit info about video:
Codec: mp4 / wmv
Resolution: 640 x 480
Aspect ratio: 4:3

I export with resolution 640 x 480. I get frames
I export 1024 x 768. I get no frames. Just crappy looks.

I want to export with native resolution without frames, what should i do?

Bump, sorry i noticed that with 1024 x 768 i get frames too. What should i do to make it full screen? I'm in a pinch now.

can you post a screenshot?

also, what are your vegas project settings and export settings (as much detail as possible, that or screenshots)

What's the aspect ratio of your source? Your final export and project settings should always match that. If you absolutely have to, you can right- click on the clips, and uncheck "maintain aspect ratio".
By the way, DO NOT make your final exprt from vegas. Vegas has crappy mp4 compression and that's why your 1024 x 768 video looks bad.

Your (Pixel) Aspect Ratio should be set to 1.0 Square Pixels.

Your video may be 4:3, but at 640x480, your pixels aren't.
