now don't fit the full widescreen. I always re-author the movie only and buy widescreen only movies. WHen I put the original in, it fills the widescreen great, when I put the copy in (Movie only) it goes to full screen 4:3. I know shrinking will lose some quality, should I use dual layer blanks now to retain 100% of the movie quality?
Any help is appreciated.

I just ordered 10, figured I would give that a try. The picture quality was always fine on my 36" Toshiba. On the 50" Sony, I can notice the loss. I am assuming that is why my burn't dvd's don't automatically fill the screen.

your widescreen tv should have screen adj. like (4:3)(full)(zoom)&
(wide zoom). try one of theses settings and see if it's ok with you.
using dual blank dvd'd is not the solution.

Its a setting on the TV. The backed up dvds play awesome on my dad's 63" Samsung. Anything over ~70% compression will look good on it. Anything less and you can see some artifacts.

It's definitely a setting on the TV. I only purchase widescreen DVDs and I back up all of them--all come out widescreen, regardless of what TV/computer screen I use.

When I back up a wide screen dvd, the copy palys widescreen, however, there are black bars at the top and bottom (therefore not filling the entire screen). When I zoom in (either Zoom, Zoom Wide, etc) I lose picture quality.

If the DVD is in 2:35:1 widescreen, there will be bars top and bottom. If it's 1.85:1 widescreen, there will be no black bars.

Is that for the copy only. Because, the original will fill the entire wide screen, the copy (movie only) will have the bars above and below.

Check your DVD player to see what the video display playback mode is set to. There are usually at least three modes:
16 x 9 widescreen
4 x 3 letterboxed
4 x 3
If the DVD is 16:9 and either of the last two are selected as the display mode, you can get bars top and bottom.
The DVD player must be set to 16 x9 and the monitor/TV must be on fullscreen or widescreen display.

I have a 60 Sony Wega and DVD's never fill my screen. I always get black bars, only way to get rid of them is to do a wide zoom but then you lose picture quailty so it is pointless. Only time you wont get a black bars is if the movie is 16x9, because that is the exact size of the TV.
EDIT-I put a full screen DVD into my Upscaling DVD player and it plays with no blackbars and the picture doesent look stretched at all. Since it upscales it to 1080i, the aspect ratio gets changed but doesent get stretched. So if you have a upscaling DVD player, getting full screen dvd's would probaly be better so then you have no black bars. Only bad thing is that you really arent getting a widescreen picture, So there are somethings on the side that you are missing. Not like that really matters anyway.

Try setting your tv display to 16:9 zoom. Granted you are almost always going to loose some quality using shrink but 16:9 zoom shouldn't amplify the artifacts much and will get rid of the black bars. For superior video quality use dvd rb/cce or procoder.

Was out of town, finally got a chance to try suggestions. The DVD set up to 16:9 seems to have done the trick.
Thanks!
What is the typical quality of DVD 1080? The burn DVD is showing as 480 (I presume because it was shrunk). If I use a DL disk, would the copy be 1080?

DVD resolution is 720 x 480.
Broadcast HDTV is usually either 1920 x 1080i or 1280 x 720p.
HD-DVD and Blu-ray will ramp up to HDTV resolutions when they come on board en masse.
