In Reply to: Is the ever-present motion artifact 'problem' an incurable situation? posted by centurymantra on April 02, 2004 at 07:07:25:
Does either your player and/or the display device have the 2/3 pull down alogorhythm? That might eliminate what is bothering you about DVD. I assume you know what that means but for those that don't: when film, shot at 24 frames per second (fps) is transferred to video (30 fps) an extra frame is added every five frames to (for want of a better term) "even" things out. That's why preceptively speaking films on video do not have the same level of involvement as actual films do (obviously there are other factors at work as well). The 2/3 process (called by some 3/2) addresses this and smoothes things out for a more film-like presentation.
Follow Ups:
My player and display device have the 2/3 pull down feature, so I wouldn't expect that to be an issue. From the responses, I realized that I wasn't entirely clear on the exact point I was raising. It is not so much 'motion artifact' (ie. jaggies, etc.) as a pervasive lack of smoothness/blurring in all types of faster motion such as pans across a landscape, quick movement of people and objects. This creates a somewhat disorienting feel that adversely effects the ability of a film to draw you into the experience. The top-dollar player I have did little to alleviate this, in spite of it's excellent color quality and detail resolution, and I have also begun to notice this in most films at the theatre, so I expect it is a result of most films ultimate transformation to a digital project within the final editing process. I am probably fixating on it more than I need to but, as a film buff, this is a MAJOR source of dissapointment. It befuddles me that more people; not just viewers, but producers, directors, etc. find this even remotely tolerable. It surprises me that when I mention these observations to people I know, most don't acknowledge it and if they do agree with my observations, they don't seem to think it is a significantly noticable effect. I think people are beginning to forget what it used to be like to watch a FILM as opposed to a digital display/projection. A very sad state of affairs...
