Exporting to QuickTime - 4:3 being stretched to 16:9

Hey everyone,

I do a lot of video work. Recently when exporting a 4:3 video FinalCut Express started stretching it to 16:9. I have checked all of the setting and threw away the preference files. It is still doing it.

The problem is that when I do the other export option it takes 3 to 4 times longer to get it done, which I don't have to time for. It can be up to 11 hours for a 2 hour video.

Is there a way to fix this and have the export using QuickTime keep the aspect ratio?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7)
