That looks like the overscan area. Video editors show it, it may or
may not show once you burn to a DVD. You need a REAL tool, not the
Movie Maker toy to reset the area that fills the frame with pan/zoom
to eliminate the overscan.

Some information about resizing clips in WMM at these URL's:

In the second URL above, I had good success with:

"Download this package for 15 readymade crop effects (3 on each side and 3
on center)
RehanFX Crop Effects Pack. "

Hope this helps!
