Again a black bar question, what hero solves it simpy?

[pdeboer]

While backing up my dvd's they result in having black bars (top n bottom). I used dvd shrink (3.0) to compress unwanted stuff and the result is a set of *.vob, *.ifo, and some more, ready to be burned...

Can anyone explain to me what the most effective procedure is to get rid of the bars?

My procedure:
- start any dvd
- use dvd-decrypter to get files to my HD
- start dvdshrink or Clone dvd
- burn it.

Help is verry much appreciated!

the only way to get rid of the black bars WITHOUT reencoding is to either:

1) back up movies which are not widescreens or letterbox
2) press the zoom button

Why??? If I play the original I don't have a problem...
Original is PAL however, not NTSC
