I don't understand something. Can you smart folks set me on the right track?What I've read seems to say this:
(1) Most DVD players output a non-progressive scan signal, which is basically an interlaced signal, albeit with more lines of resolution.
(2) Progressive scan players output a non-interlaced signal, making an outboard line doubler uninteresting for DVD playback.
(3) Progressive scan players go a long way to eliminating the jaggies in output images.
(4) A non-progressive scan DVD player with an outboard line doubler will improve the resulting image, but not as much as a progressive scan player.Are these points correct? If so, I fear that my non-progressive scan DVD player has become another betamax. :-{
Follow Ups:
1) Yes, for now anyway. Ask me in two years and it will be mostly progressive.2)Yes
3) Yes, If I see jaggies now, it's the fault of the DVD.
4) eh....yeah in most cases. This is dependent upon the chip used and the whether 3:2 pulldown technology is used. Most mid to hi-end prog players will outperform built in TV doublers. However, there are a few outboard doublers/scalers (very expensive) that can match or better a prog DVD player.
Your fears are right. When you see a good prog signal into a prog ready tv next to interlaced, you'll want prog right away. It's like comparing 80's redbook CDs to todays SACDs.
Peace,
Chuck
