Rendered video gets black sides

Whenever I render a video from an recorded AVI file (with lagarith lossless codec) to any kind of format be it WMV, MP4, mainconcept or whatever, the video gets black sides. The video doesnt fill out the window. How do I fix this?

In project properties I have matched media video settings and whenever I render I make sure to render with the original format settings. I render a 1920x1080 30FPS to a 1920x1080 30FPS format. What could be the cause of this?

Are you saying your original video is a 1920x1080 AVI?

And that your Videoo Project Properties are also 1920x1080?

And when you say it has black sides, do you mean that it is black on the left and right only or that there is a black frame completely surrounding your video?

Yes, they are the same. I mean that there's only black bars on the sides - not above and below.

Anyway I found out that it actually isn't a movie studio problem, since the original video also has these bars. Both Windows Media Player and DivX Player plays these files with black bars. Very weird and apparently I'm posting on the wrong forum now since my problem just changed :p

Post COMPLETE MediaInfo details for both your original and rendered versions. This will be easy to sort out. Even easier if you will upload an original sample to a fileshare site (not Youtube!).

Probably your original was encoded anamorphic when it should not have been. If you got it off torrent, don't even bother; we don't do that here.
;?)

It happens when playing a DVD and whatever format. It happens in both rendered and original. So you are saying that movie studio could somehow morph media player and DivX ?

Anyway here's a random media info's since I haven't got the same files no more.

These are screen captures?
You are probably capturing from a 16:10 monitor, which is a different aspect. Only thing you could do in this case is crop the video to fit.
