Thank you, but this is not about aspect ratios. Let me state the problem
 more clearly.

Videos play back pixel-perfect: I see all of the picture on my TV (i.e.
I've disabled overscan), and all of the TV's rows and columns are being
used for displaying the picture.

Recordings however are displayed with a couple of centimeters of black
in the left-hand margin, half a centimeter of black on the right, some
bkack at the bottom as well and none at the top.

So my question is whether/how I can properly play back these recordings
without also fouling up the way that videos are played back.

I've checked the recording profile, and it only has options for the
picture size (in pixels), not the position relative to horizontal and
vertical sync.

Thanks, Jan
