I haven't read this thread real closely, but have you tried to adjust the
gui size in the appearance portion of the setting menu?  You can spell out
the exact pixel size of the gui and check the box for video to be the same
as the gui size.    You need to adjust the size  and then mess with the
offset numbers to recenter the imagine.   It takes a little trial and error
but you should be able to get in perfect with several iterations.

If cutting off the 'junk' at the top of the image is your desire, that can
be done with the overscan setting on the playback menu of the settings.
