I "think" I had this same issue.  But it was for all recordings, not 
just HD.  I had to go in to my playback settings and change the scale 
settings there.  I had to change them to a non "0" value, for example, 
-25%, and then the video was "properly" shrunk to a small size (lots of 
black around the edges), then, when I set the values back to 0, the 
video was scaled properly.  Very strange.
