Nono, don't do fullscreen discs. But there are some questions that need answering:
1) What model of TV?
2) What is it's resolution?
3) What model DVD player?
4) What is the "widescreen" nature of the disc? if it's typical 16:9, it can fill the screen. A lot of new widescreen is 2.5:1 (the new widescreen) with is letterboxed even on widescreen sets. This is doubly typical of HD-DVDs.
There are stretching features as well. But the end result is mostly an issue of what your TV expects the resolution of the signal to be and what resolution the DVD is sending, along with the widescreen aspect ratio of the movie itself. A standard DVD on a high-def TV (1080p let's say) will NOT automatically stretch on most sets. You need to set stretch or zoom to make it expand, unless you are using an HD-DVD player that will upscale. This is because the DVD only puts out 480p signal.
