16:9 or 4:3?

Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem with a project I am working on. The video is all HD but when I export to QuickTime and play in full screen mode I can see black borders at either side of my movie as well as at the top. This gets me thinking that it is being exported in 4:3 format rather than 16:9
Does that sound about right? And how do I go about fixing it?
The original footage was filmed at 720 x 1280, 50fps.
I copied it over from my friend's laptop (Windoze-based) and it came with file extensions .mts, whatever that is.
I then ran it through Moyea Video Converter and chose to output as H.264 HD Video (.mp4)
Checking the output files in Finder they are showing now as 1920 x 1080
In Final Cut Express (v 4.0.1) under "Easy Setup" I originally had DV PAL selected. I thought this might be the problem but have tried AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50 and HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50 with the same results.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

'scuse my noobness but I think I've found the answer.
I didn't realise there is a difference between "Export/QuickTime Movie" and "Export/Using QuickTime Compression".
Seems the QuickTime movie option outputs in 4:3 format.
Thanks anwyay
