Is this black border of yours only big on your TV or also on the pc?
If it is on the tv than try to set your DVD-player in pan&scan or 4:3.

Even within 16:9 , there are different screen ratios.

You probably have ripped 1.85:1 movie previously, this has smaller back bars (when viewed on 4x3 TV) than a 2.35:1 movie which is a narrow picture with wider black bars.

I assume the problems you are having are due to the newer rips you mentioned being 2.35:1 movies.
