TiVo MyDVD recording problem

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)

I d/l'ed the free Sonic MyDVD demo version, but there's a problem.

When I burn a show to DVD, the picture is squeezed in from the sides,
with about 10% of the left and right side appearing as black bars. Kind
of like a sideways "letterbox" effect.

There's no aspect ratio setting in MyDVD, at least none that I can find.

Anyone know how to fix this?

The problem shows when playing the DVD on anything - two different
standalone DVD players, as well as the PC's DVD player itself.
