Re: frame dropping

... is when the actor pops from the right side of the screen to the left w/o running through the center. Or, somebody slowly moves their head & it looks like they have Parkinsons disease. The frame in between wasn't expanded in time to project. Thus, it was dropped & the last one was played twice instead.

A lot of digital cable is doing that now too, which is pissing me off. I'm paying more for less quality. So, I went back to analog. The stations expanders do it less often than the home ones. I tried to have the box fixed, but their tech couldn't see it. However, my brother who currently works on cable line gear does & he hasn't forgiven me since.

It ranks down there with each of us pointing out flaws in eachothers systems. However, once fixed, the result is formidable. The trick is to communicate. An artsy mechanical engineer vs. book-worm electronic technician ... need I say more?
