Heya!
I record shows using my DTV receiver and play it on my lcd tv using HDTV OUT leads from my videocard (7600gt).

But when I go through a successful conversion to xvid (gordon knot) and play the video to my lcd tv, the image is squashed up with blackbars on the sides.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong because the aspect looks fine, I have even tried to not crop the original file - same result.

Another example from what I noticed is that when I've downloaded a show (there are two versions), the usual release is squashed up on my lcd tv, but the HDTV release (double in size) ain't.

How can I make my recordings fit to the screen properly?

Many thanks in advance.
