check the setting on your dvd player. is it set to 16:9 or 4:3?

It looks like somewhere along the line, it got converted to 4:3 AR.

When you shoot in 16:9, you have to edit with NLE settings at 16:9, then you have to encode with 16:9. Any deviation would effect the outcome. The 16:9 footage I shot with my Camcorder display the black lines on top and bottom.

If you shoot in 16:9, the avi created when capturing should also be 16:9. If it isn't, then your not shooting 16:9 or you don't have the correct capture settings.
