Aspect Problem at DVinfo.net

Hi all I have a problem of which I don't know how to fix.
An organisation I work for sent a stream of 16:9 Standard DV video being sent from a two 16:9 camera shoot thtrough a mixer to a Standard definition 4:3 camera for recording.

The problem is the format on the recording camera has a an image that is 16:9 squashed into 4:3.

I tried capturing using a 16:9 project in Premiere CS3 but all I got was the sam 4:3 frame with squashed image on a 16:9 frame with black bars either side.

Does any one know if this can be fixed and how?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Cliff Elliott

hmmm, can you right click on the clip in the project window and select 'interpolate footage' to 1.2 widescreen?

Thank you Brian, that did the trick.
I really appreciate the help as this was causing me a very large problem.
