Yup, VHS ;) In answer to your question, you could tell the player you`re watching on a 16:9 set, which would stretch the image horribly (so everyone appears tall and thin), but it would fill more of the screen. Either that or you could use the zoom button on the player, if there is one. Basically, what I`m trying to say is that you can`t do it without compramising the original image.
