Wanting some help please  :)

I'm connecting my computer up to my VCR using the S-video out from my 
video card (GeForce 2 MX 400) to RCA Video In on my VCR.

Using the PowerDVD app I can watch a movie fine on the TV, but the left 
and right sides are being cut off - by that I mean it's not cutting off 
any of the picture, but it's sort of 'boxing it in' with thin black 
lines down the sides.  The left and side of the picture is not going to 
the edge of the screen.  I hope I'm explaining that ok!

Anyway I was just wondering if there way of fixing that, via computer 
settings or VCR settings.  I'm guessing it's got something to do with 
incompatibility of signals or something.  The reason I'm doing this is 
cause I'd like to tape some stuff off a DVD onto videotape.  Thanks in 
advance for any forthcoming replies  :)

BTW - Running Win98 SE, AMD Athlon 2k processor, 336mb RAM.
