I see. Well, I recommend setting up a playback group that always has  
the fill mode set to get rid of the black bars. Then set up your  
recording profiles to always put recordings from those channels in  
that playback group. Then you don't have to think about it. It just  
happens.

Also note that there is currently a patch that detects black bars and  
sets the fill appropriately so even that step won't be necessary.

Also note that I've never done this and I'm trying to navigate the  
playback options screen from memory, but I believe Fill is one of the  
options in there. Of course, with anything I post, I might be high and  
completely wrong.
