Are you sure they're not blown up to fill the dimensions of an HD widescreen?
Also, many newer HD sets and DVD players come with options where you can blow up the picture, to varying degrees, where the old standard TV ratio 1:33 goes from an almost perfect square "box" shape to fill the screen, something I use all the time as I've become used to how it looks and have come to prefer seeing the presentation that way, even if it looks a little "squeezed" sometimes rather than see the square image with black on either side.
Just my preference though. To each his own!
