You can edit in a 4:3 DV preset or a 16:9 DV preset--it's your choice. It will depend largely on the aspect ratio of your other footage, as well as your destination medium.
In a 4:3 project, after you capture the footage, simply select all the clips, right-click, and select "Interpret Footage". Change from the .9 PAR to 1.2 PAR. Now, when you drag the clips into the timeline, they'll be automagically letterboxed.
In a 16:9 project, you shouldn't have to do anything--the program will assume that since you're in a 16:9 project that your incoming media is 16:9, and will apply the correct PAR to the media. If it doesn't for some reason (I don't have the means to confirm this, so please, be my guinea pig
), simply follow the Interpret Footage method above.
