In Reply to: Curious...what is this blotching I see in all DVDs?... posted by Beatlephile on June 01, 2002 at 09:30:38:
I have only ever seen this on one DVD here, so I can definitely say it was the DVD and not my system. If you see it on lots/all DVD's, then it's something in your system. Not to say the DVD's are perfect, but that your gear should be able to handle them. If you want to determine which component, probably easiest to mark the times, then take a few DVD's to the place where you got the DVDP. Try it with an ES hooked up to a Sony TV, as I don't get these artifacts (except that one case) on a newish Sony TV, so that would point to your TV if the artifacts disappear. I asked elsewhere about this issue and it was suggested it was caused by some processing in the TV, so you could try fiddling with which processing mode you're using, if you have a choice.FWIW, the one DVD was Ghost World and the random moving blotches were green, very annoying.
It seems worst in The Patriot, about halfway when Mel is talking to Cornwallis in up in his room, look at the back wall. But it occurs on just about every DVD I have. I must say I have a 555ES reciever that the s-video goes through it first then on the the Toshiba. I thought perhaps it was the T.V. but as I made adjustments I lessened it somewhat. But I have a friend with a similar set up, same player and reviever, but he has a Sony XBR T.V. and experiances the same effect. Perhaps it is just DVDs in general, or me, my girlfriend says she can't see anything (yet when can girls see or hear anything for that matter).
Do a little research on the phrase "Digital Artifact" to get an explanation of this effect.
From what you say, it might point to the DVDP as the common element, since the receiver doesn't do video processing. I don't think it's the S-video thing, because I only changed over to component a while ago, and never saw it except that once. The video passes through my receiver too. The kind of blotching I meant was sustained, I can't believe someone couldn't see it.
