Kain Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Well? I thought I read somewhere that only NTSC DVDs have Progressive Scan. Is this true? Or am I being a complete idiot? ------------------ Will be getting the following in December.

BBQman Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 KAiN64, ALL DVDs are NTSC. It does not make any difference whether they are progressive scan or interlaced. Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted December 13, 2001 Author Share Posted December 13, 2001 Sorry, I just found out that you were wrong. All my DVDs are PAL. ------------------ Will be getting the following in December.

oogins Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 If you can buy PAL Progressive Scan players, that most likely means you can watch your PAL DVDs in Progressive Scan. I think PAL TVs are only 50 Hz, meaning they would play at 50 fps. With NTSC you would get 60 fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrylp Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 I think Denon have amodel that can play PAL in progressive mode. Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 60Hz means better than 50Hz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Wow there is a lot of wrong information here: First off all DVD's are not NTSC. There are 6 regions of DVD (geographical) and they come in PAL, NTSC and even SECAM (possibly more for all I know). Secondly progressive scan started out as NTSC only but is now becoming available for PAL. (one Toshiba does it but with only 480 lines resolution). The delay was caused because PAL works at a higher resultion than NTSC and it was simply more demanding on the technology to perform progressive scan with more lines. If you want the Rolls Royce solution the cinematrix card does pal and ntsc progressive scan up to 1,300 lines resolution but that is mainly for projectors and is an expensive add on to a standard DVD player (it fits most). PAL TV's are not 50 Hz only. Mine is 100 Hz. Hz are not the same as frames per second. Hz refer to the refresh rate of the television and is independent of the frames per second of the source. I think that NTSC does use a higher number FPS than PAL but I recall that the numbers are 25 and 30 FPS - not 50 of 60. Of course I am no expert on Video, but the above is certainly closer to the truth than most of the responses here. ------------------ 2 * Heresy 2 (mains) 2 * Homemade horn speakers (rears) 1 * REL Strata 3 sub Accuphase E211 amp.
