Sizing

How do I change the settings on my HV40 to fill up the whole screen on youtube?
For example. In my video ([ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPObrdxKRVM"]YouTube- FML Moment - Bathroom[/ame]) you see how there is black around it?
I want it to be like this. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1EESKnq9Js&feature=sub"]YouTube- Old People Rock!![/ame]

Dude. I am such a noob with cameras I can't even answer those. I know I use sony vegas 9. And when I connect the camera to my computer through firewire, HDV pops up.

In that case, you can ignore the first three questions. Unfortunately, I'm not really familiar with Vegas, but I can give you a couple links:

Project settings: http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2008/0...s-with-hv2030/

Export settings: http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/1...-for-vimeo-hd/

That should hopefully get you headed in the right direction. You'll have to wait for someone else to come by to get more specific answers.

Thanks for the help. So it's not the settings on the camera that is doing it? It's either the importing or exporting from vegas?

Yep, it's either your project settings or your export settings.
