If you try and play Stranglehold at 1080i your eyes will go crazy do to the bluring. If you play Tiger Woods in 1080i it should not have any problems. The issue with Stranglehold is the same issue I have with a lot of scary movies and action movie on HD-DVD. Thier is so much blur going on due to the interlacing that I get a headache. At first I thought it was just the old TV I was useing, but I hooked it up to my new Pioneer PDP-5080HD and it still did not make a differance. |
You say this fully realising that HD-DVD is using relativly the same picture as blu ray, yes? The compression techniques may be different from company to company(sony and toshiba can't force them to use a specific one) but unless your superman or a company is retarded(most try to use good sense) the picture should be virtually the same from blu ray to hd-dvd. progressive scan is far more important on digital things than live recordings. Digital sources can actually use 60 frames, a live recorded source only uses 24 the TV/DVDplayer etc only multiplies the frames it doesn't make mid way frames rather has 3 frames the same, in theory it could make trails more pronounced as the images stay up for longer(though your eyes can't perceive it). THE absolute biggest variable in the trails is the TV's refresh rate(hz or ms time) though frame rate will help a bit unless again you're superman you shouldn't be able to tell much difference between 1080p and 1080i on non-digital sources. If you're having problems I'd more point to your tv. It's possible you have a bad display, my friend plays stranglehold on a 1080i set and has no problems at all..
