Magnavox recording problem?

Recording resolution problem?

• I record to make strategy guides in video games. To do this with the best quality, I play on a computer. One day, I pulled up a couple of the games I played and did recording for (Call of duty 4 and World of Warcraft, both games I make videos for on my youtube channel) and immediately noticed two gigantic black bars above and below the screen when I was recording in a default 1280x720p setup... I had just recorded using the exact same specs the previous day and did not have this problem, so I do not know what's wrong. I do know that it happened to both games without me making any altercations to the settings of the games, however, the same thing did not happen to a third game, Battlefield Bad company 2, which I also make videos for, and recorded in the same 1280x720p. After trying multiple games, I noticed the following: World of warcraft had the bug Starcraft 2 did not have the bug (Starcraft 2 being developed by the same company that does WoW and using the same communication systems - you can talk to people in WoW from SC2, for example) BF-BC2 did not have the bug Call of duty 4, modern warfare 2, Call of duty black ops all had the bug battlefield 2 had the bug - despite me using the exact same resolution for years and not having this problem. My suspicion is that there was some sort of windows update issue - I tried changing my desktop resolution to 1280x720 and it created the same massive black bars on my desktop rather than adjusting the width, like it normally did. Is anyone else having this problem? How do I fix it? Also, win7-64bit. Thanks!
