I have, and I don't. You mentioned you have tried different settings on your
player. For a standard 4:3 TV, it should be set to letterbox. Overscan might
knock a little off the sides, but not as much as you're seeing. It almost
looks like you're using the fullscreen P/S setting or the picture has been
zoomed.

Whatever the cause, I can assure you those screen captures (which should not
be posted in non-binary groups,) are not normal.
