Recording videos with fraps, can't get rid of black borders

I am recording videos with fraps but when I add them to windows movie maker it adds the black bars around the sides, either the top/botton or on the sides. I have tried EVERYTHING! yes I have changed the aspect ratio and looked and every options in windows movie maker! I think windows live movie maker just sucks and I can't fix it.

Does anyone know how I can fix this!?

this is the video I was trying to make fit the entire YouTube screen( yes i tried to youtube stretch tags and the black bars are part of the video from windows movie maker)

If you cant beat em, join em. Change your game resolution to 1920x1080 or [strike=option]1680x1050[/s] 1280x720 (both 16:9)

1680x1050 is NOT a 16:9 resolution, it's 16:10. He's right though, your problem probably stems from the fact that the YouTube player is a 16:9 player and you're inputting 16:10 video. If you're right that it's Windows Live Movie Maker then it probably doesn't support non-HD resolutions and is converting it.
