DVD Format Questions - 16:9 Layouts ?.................

I have a new Samsung LCD TV and I have rented a few DVDs. It is the 16:9 Widescreen Format. Some of the DVDs I rent fill the screen, some others leave a Black Bar at the top and bottom of the screen. I thought I was done with this when I left the 4:3 format!

Can someone explain very simply what is going with these formats?
