White borders in playback (1 Viewer)

[baldingfast]

Hi All,

On some videos I have recorded at full dvd quality, I am getting a white band on the left and right of the actual picture during playback. When I play the original dvd in Media Portal the area is black?

What I would like to do if possible is change this area to black when playing back the recoding.
Any guidance be appreciated, either a fix or an explanation of why this occurs?

Thanks

I have added log files and my system spec to the post.

Can no-one point me in the right direction?

Windows Media Player has the option to change border colour, it is under the "Performance Tab".

Various DVD software also have this option, so you may need to check these as well.

The one thing you did not say is which codec you have for DVD & Movie settings.
