Mpeg2 artifacts revealed by component input...

210.143.132.28

Posted by lindseyp on December 5, 2001 at 05:32:22

I recently purchased a Pioneer DV-AX10 progressive dvd-v/dvd-a/sacd/cd etc etc.. player in a good used deal. Finally I made the cables to attach it to my Panasonic 50" plasma display. The picture is much better than it was with S-video, and *way* better than my previous dvd player, but it's too good!

I can now clearly see artifacts around high contrast detail caused by the Mpeg-2 encoding. They look just like the ones you see around sharp edges in jpeg pictures.

I'm not sure if I wasn't happier in my s-video blissful ignorance. Aargh.

Does anyone else suffer from this problem?
