When I record from my cable HD channels, theres black bars on the sides and the top.
How do I fix this on my computer so when I play it back it will take up the whole screen on my HD LCD TV?

Step by step instructions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

And whatever is doing the recording, is it set up to do 16:9 recording?

actually the problem is its recording automatically to letterboxed widescreen in 4:3. so even when the flag is re set to 16:9 its still letterboxed on a widescreen tv instead of filling it up all the way. i cant figure out why its doing that. maybe its the output aspect ratio format on the cablebox.

I'll try to adjust the cable box again. I doubt it will work though.

Who's cable are you hooked up to? Comcast and Verizon will only output 4:3 via composite and s-video, even with HD widescreen content. There are a couple of cable boxes out there that output in 16:9 via s-video, and I know the DirecTV HD receiver does.
