I recorded some video with my Go Pro in 1080p HD; however, I'm having problems once I edit it.

The video is coming up with big black bars all around, so the video is only filling about half the screen, like this

(apologies for having to plug my own video)

Anyone know what the problem could be?

I edited it using Windows Live Movie Maker. When saving the video there are several resolution settings.

The resolution of the original footage is 1920x1080.

When saving, the recommended HD resolution is 1440x1080, which gave this issue. I created a custom setting for 1920x1080, which is the setting the video was saved in. So it is the same resolution as the original footage but as soon as I save the video it puts the black bars in.
