Native DVD format resolution is 720x480 max (NTSC in North America, PAL in other parts of the world is 720x576 iirc.
So the best you'll get from converting an actual DVD to an mp4 or m4v file (same basic thing as far as playback is concerned) is 720 pixels wide, and the height will be determined by the aspect ratio of the source material. There's no way to "upscale" videos during the conversion process - that would create a lot of artifacting and is generally regarded as a very bad thing to do.
The Harry Potter clip came directly from my retail Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire DVD ripped to my hard drive, hence it's 720 pixels wide natively and the aspect ration brings in the height at 304 pixels.
Let the device itself do the upscaling as necessary which is what happens when you play a 720 pixel wide clip and it plays full screen anyway.

Just to be sure on your last sentence...the player should be filling the screen? Because mine definitely doesn't for the movies I converted last night (but previous ones are fine)
