So here's the deal... I'm working in a custom made tempate in vegas that's 1440x960 (which is 720x480 doubled) so I can add a white letterbox through out my spot and crop my images according to the widescreen matte I put in... Everytime I export as an AVI using cineforms codec, it doesn't give me the correct device aspect ratio as how it would with the regular 720x480 settings... My video clip always comes out with these little black bars on the top and bottom, I even selected the export setting of stretching the video, but none seems to work... What do my export settings need to be in order to get rid of those bars and stretch the video accordingly so it's 4x3?

What exactly are you trying to do as an end result? Have a 4:3 image with the white letterbox bars and the 16:9 HDV between them?
What's your project pixel aspect ratio? What's your render pixel aspect ratio?
What's your project pixel aspect ratio? What's your render pixel aspect ratio?
That is correct... my white letterbox matte is a little more than 16:9 so I can crop a little bit, I forget what the ratio would be, but yes I want my final image to be 4x3 with the white letterbox.
Here's my project template:
Width: 1,440
Height: 960
Field Order: (None) progressive
Pixel aspect ratio: 0.9091 (NTSC DV)
framerate: 23.976
full-res render quality: Good
Motion blur type: gaussian
Deinterlace method: blend fields
Here's my export settings:
Rendered at: Best
Width: 1,440
Height: 960
Field Order: (none) progressive
Pixel aspect ratio: 0.9091 (NTSC DV)
Video Format: Cineform HD v2.9.1
Cineform Configure: Encoding Quality is High HD, Video format is Automatic
Interleave every seconds: .250
Create an open DML box is checked

Not sure why you want that exact dimension, but that's neither here nor there.
I just tried something which worked just fine . . .
Instead of using the white matte, simply create a video track under the video.
Right-click on the track header and choose "Fade Colors," then Top.
Make all the color boxes 255.
Then, right-click on the header again, and choose "Insert Envelope," then choose "Fade to Color."
Take the node at the begining the envelope and drag it to the top of the track.
You should now be seeing what you want -- the 16:9 HDV image with white on the top and bottom.
Then, instead of rendering as 1440x960 with a PAR of .9091, choose 1280x960 with a PAR of 1.000.
This should be the result:
