Divx wrong aspect ratio

Upgraded to BTV4 mostly for the Divx support and the ability to format the guide with more columns and rows. Unfortunatly when I play back any files compressed in Divx the aspect ratio is letter-boxed on the sides. I play back an MPEG or WMV and it's good as ever but the Divx shows have black bars on the left and right side of the screen.

Anyone else getting this? I've downloaded the latests Divx codec from divx.com.

Re: Divx wrong aspect ratio

Thanks Brett, that fixed it. Weird, my options window wouldn't come up so I closed BTV and Firefly and reopened both to get it working again. Stretching took care of the problem, thanks so much for the quick help!
