The simple reason for those black bars is that 16:9 was chosen for HD content was that a 4:3 signal and ‘CinemaScope’ could both showed the FULL image at the right aspect ratio, although both sizes have black bars where the is no image, this is a ‘feature’ and not a ‘bug’
Zooming in, you are loosing parts of the image, and possibly something that the director viewed important.
16:9 is a compromise, as with any screen ratio you go for, you will simply not please all of your video footage all of the time, watch the curtains in the cinema, not the red ones, the black ones that cover the sides of the screen.... especially between adverts, trailers and the feature.
Do a Google search on aspect ratio history.
@Klojum nice hack! Will do that on my PJ now!
