I "think" I had this same issue. But it was for all recordings, not
just HD. I had to go in to my playback settings and change the scale
settings there. I had to change them to a non "0" value, for example,
-25%, and then the video was "properly" shrunk to a small size (lots of
black around the edges), then, when I set the values back to 0, the
video was scaled properly. Very strange.

David's suggestion worked for me. I think the playback of HD is
smoother aftwards also.
