5 exported from vegas as lagarith avi 720x480 dar=3:2 par=1.2121

This makes no sense, and is probably your problem. 720x480 will only have a DAR of 3:2 if the pixel aspect ratio is 1. 720x480 with a PAR of 1.2121 is 16:9. You're confusing the encoder.

so then you are saying i need to export with 1.0 par ash? ok i will try that. my above theory of the black bars becoming part of the dar was wrong. so maybe this is the answer. thanks again bro. i will have to find a way to repay you for all you have done ash.
