Just lol...:LOL:

Did you read the first reply to that post? Guess not, as it backs up my argument.

Wow, sorry to breack it to you, but there are no 24p encoded dvd, there are no dvd with a pure 24p stream, get over it, no matter how much you moan.

24p or 48i is functionally the same thing; the progressive flag is ignored by the DVD format anyway.
Where is your proof that it's not possible? I show half a dozen links agreeing that it is, and you have one guy somewhat ambiguously saying that it's not.

Yes , a random user saying you can do this , so it must be true , a very credible source indeed.

However it can be the same functionally,it is still a different kind of stream as you simply CANT store a pure 24p stream on the dvd like the wiki link say.

Then again, please show me at least one of those dozen links that is from a non anonynous, reliable and trustable industry source like the one i provided, otherwise, we are just talking about air.

Do you even understand why Bohdy and I are making this fuss about distinguishing 60i and 24p? It's because of what you said in all these posts:

All this ONLY applies to 60 fields of data per second in the MPEG stream, as found in streams from a camcorder recording in strict DV/DVPRO/DVPRO50/etc format with the pre-encoded telecine that wastes space and impacts 24p reconstruction.

All NTSC hollywood DVDs are encoded with 48 fields of data per second with repeat flags to specify what the other 12 per second are. Whether you call this 60i (as David Newman does), or 48i, or 24i (as dvdfile does), or 24p (as Bohdy and I have) is irrelevant. Either way the DVD has the 24 frames per second of data there. By ignoring all flags and simply pairing even lines with odd lines, it knows what the 24 frames per second are.

Therefore NONE of those posts apply to hollywood DVDs with respect to compression.


Now, as for telecine, let's assume 1080p/24 is useful. That is, if the HD-DVD/BD player is outputting 1080p/24 to the TV, the player presumably can ignore all the repeat flags and perfectly assemble 24 progressive frames per second. Alternatively, it can ignore the flags, but output 1080i with a standard telecine cadence. Or it can listen to the flags and output the telecined 1080i that way. Bohdy and I are saying the first two will give no quality difference, so 1080p/24 does nothing.

(For Europeans, I don't see why making a TV accept 1080p/24 is easier than making it accept 1080i/60)

And i alredy said more than one time where it can happens with hollywood movies too...so why going back again to the argument ?
Want another example where it can happens in hollywood movies ?
It happnes to movies on DVHS with firewire output that transfer the digital mpeg2 signal to the Tv sets...firewire only carries compressed video signals.

Irrilevant ? If i burn a dvd with a 24p stream it is not going to work...if you call this irrilevalt...go figure...

And i alredy said by experience with professional equipment, that, as a director of photography, i prefer the native 24p output, and so do lots of other industrial people...so what ?

And it does not take too much about thinking why a 1080p24 standard can be better outside the camcorders...if the firewire standard pushed by JVC will take place thanks to the bonus of hd digital recording, (there are alredy Sat Decoder with firewire output and Tv with firewire imput in japan )all the problems i have exposed will take place.

Right now hd digital portable recording is very limited, basically the only way to record an the hdTv stream to something portable like a tape is by DVHS with firewire...( a blue ray disc recorded would only use firewire too), consumer tapes/discs doest not have enough space/bandwitch to record an uncompressed HDMI signal...firewire is the only way to go...and it will carries only compressed streams, usually mpeg2TSHD...if digital hd recoring will be introduced in the mass market...you will have all the problems i have explosed if you record a 1080i stream from the firewire output of the decoder, to the firewire port of the recorder...and you will see the movie to the firewire port of the TV (some Tv have it in japan)...in this case, a 24p mpeg2 stream will always be the better solution.

In Ventresca, I'm reminded of another posted who was constantly saying their piece over and over regards MPEG2 versus VC1 and AVC. Perhaps they're the same person, and this argument is equally going to go nowhere. I suggest those with sense walk away. After a certain number of times telling a person what's being debated, if they still don't get it...why carry on repeating yourself (not that I really understand the conversation here, but it has zip to do with consoles anyhow!)

Yes. READ. What one CALLS IT is irrelevant. Shakespeare: What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet. Get it? There are 48 data fields per second in the stream. Doesn't matter if you call it 60i/48i/24i/24p. Newman, Bohdy, and I are all referring to the same thing.

Here's another way of wording this:
On DVDs, telecined material may be either hard telecined, or soft telecined. In the hard-telecined case, video is stored on the DVD at the playback framerate (29.97 frames/sec for NTSC, 25 frames/sec for PAL), using the telecined frames as shown above. In the soft-telecined case, the material is stored on the DVD at the film rate (24 or 23.976 frames/s) in the original progressive format, with special flags inserted into the MPEG-2 video stream that instruct the DVD player to repeat certain fields so as to accomplish the required pulldown during playback. Progressive scan DVD players additionally offer output at 480p by using these flags to duplicate frames rather than fields.

NTSC DVDs are often soft telecined, although lower-quality hard-telecined DVDs exist.
You are talking about hard telecine. We are talking about soft telecine that is found in virtually all Hollywood DVDs. There are only 48 fields of data per second. Your split C frame never occurs, and compression is never an issue.

Alredy addressed.
No you haven't. Doesn't matter if it's 24fps progressive or 24fps interlaced. It's just semantics. Either way, the C frame artifacts never occur.

Here's another place you were wrong:
Bohdy said:
They are used by the DVD player to actially apply pulldown after decoding, to turn 24fps video into 30p/60i video for output.
Here is where you are wrong, completly wrong, the flags are use for removing the pulldown, for recovering the original 24p from the 60i source.
Really? Then why has this guy written a program to insert the very same flags that Bohdy was talking about?

Are you so conceited that you think your interpretation of David Newman is correct and EVERYONE else on the internet is wrong? Or do you think just maybe your interpretation is wrong, and everyone else including Newman is correct?

DVHS? It only records the bitstream found in an HDTV broadcast, which had 24p at the start. DVHS movies are the same situation as DVDs. Firewire? It just transfers the raw bitstream whether it's 48i or 60i. No firewire device uncompresses 48i, inserts extra frames, then recompresses it into a 60i mpeg2 stream. In other words, no firewire device changes soft telecine to hard telecine. Neither firewire nor DVHS affect anything here unless of course you're again talking about camcorders. In fact firewire is even better because a native 24p display device gets all the data.

When you said you prefer 24p, was that comparing standard telecine 1080i with 1080p/24, both on the same native 24p display like the Pioneer? I bet you couldn't tell the difference there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I'm through with you.

You were wrong saying Hollywood DVD's don't have a 23.976 fps data stream.
You were wrong saying flags aren't used to do the 3:2 pulldown in the DVD player.
You were wrong about the C frame compression issue affecting most DVD's.
You incessantly argued interlaced 24fps vs. progressive 24fps, when both invalidated your C frame issue equally.
You were wrong about firewire and DVHS making a difference.
You haven't said why standard cadence can still cause issues.

Bye. I hope you've learned something. Keep working on that English and it'll get better for sure.

Never said such a thing my dear liar , what i said is there are no dvd encoded AS PURE 24 P FRAME like the wiki link say and like you and bhody say , i know from a while you can encode dvd with an INTERLACED 24fps stream.

THIS IS A FACT, THERE ARE NO 24P ENCODED DVD....

IF I STORE ON DVD A PURE 24P STREAM IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK, THIS IS FAR FAR FAR FROM IRRILEVANT, I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THIS POINT AGAIN.

ALSO, BHRODY STATE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RECOVER A 24P FROM AN MPEG2 STEAM AFTER THE PULLDOWN because of the intraframe compression....and guess what ?

It is not, i do it without problems...but i am sure this point to you irrilevant too right ?


DVHS? It only records the bitstream found in an HDTV broadcast, which had 24p at the start. DVHS movies are the same situation as DVDs. Firewire? It just transfers the raw bitstream whether it's 48i or 60i. No firewire device uncompresses 48i, inserts extra frames, then recompresses it into a 60i mpeg2 stream. In other words, no firewire device changes soft telecine to hard telecine. Neither firewire nor DVHS affect anything here unless of course you're again talking about camcorders. In fact firewire is even better because a native 24p display device gets all the data.

I am sure you never seen a DVHS in you life so why bothering talking about it ?

DVHS play DVHS 1080i tapes, and yes, they do IVTC.

DVHS dont output an uncompressed format like HDMI, they output always a compressed mpeg2 stream over firewire , a 1080i encoded DVHS with the VTR set to have a progressive output , go into the situation i explained, so you are, again, wrong.

DVHS WITH 1080i mpge2 tape----IVTC ---- 1080p mpeg2 output over firewire ---- TV firewire input.

IT MUST DO RECOMPRESSION AFTER THE IVTC because the DVHS player only output a compressed mpeg2 singal.
I hope you've learned something. Keep working on that English and it'll get better for sure.
I learned some people are just hopeless...why you can't get over the fact you are wrong and there are no 24p encoded dvd i dont know, but for sure i know i am not going to lose any more time with you.

Mintmaster, you are just hopeless...

Wow go see a psychiatrist or you surely will die in your sleep soon.

LISTEN , i have better things to do than talking with hopeless people...if i knew it was going to stink BEFORE...because i alredy posted here like you suggest....I SWEAR YOU..... I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOT THROUGH IT AT ALL , and this is my last post, i am not even going to read the reply.

But, since i am a good person, i say to all :

Love an peace brothers !

I have to be on the set just in about 20 minutes....

Take a good care of yourself...

Hi, i just found out this topic because i was looking for informations to buy my new TV.

Looking all over internet, i got to the conclusion that mintmaster is deadly wrong here, as anyone who have a television without a true 24p support is experimenting the annoying 3:2 pulldown motionjudder with blue ray material.

Be careful, not all the Tvs who spot the 1080/24p compatibility are able to display true a 24p signal.

If the 3:2 pulldown motion judder is still present, we know that the TV which have 1080p/24 support do definitely not refresh at 24Hz or a multiple of 24Hz, therefore it has to make the 3:2 pulldown with all it's downsides.

Now i finally got a Samsung Samsung LE40A656 with true 24p support and i can enjoy my movies in their full 1080p/24p glory and finally free from the annoying 3:2 pulldown microjudder i experienced of my previous LCD.

If i set my ps3 to 1080i i can experiment the 3:2 pulldown microjudder, but if i set my ps3 to 24p i can enjoy a microjudder free movie.


Be aware, i am not talking about the normal, genuine motionjudders of the 24p material...i am talking about the annoying 3:2 pulldown microjudder when you watch 1080i material.

Hope this will help other people who are looking for a new TV.
 
i'm not sure what MM said, but you're right... the only TV's that truly support 1080p/24hz are the 120hz TV's. the purpose of 120hz is so it can do an even judder-free conversion (5:5 pulldown) from 24hz -> 120hz. some 60hz TV's "support" 24hz, but its not doing the correct 5:5 pulldown. now for PAL users, instead of 120hz, they have 100hz TV's so it can do an even 25hz -> 100hz judder-free conversion.

also, some people think 120hz and 120hz processing, such as Samsung's AMP (Auto Motion Plus) or Sony's MotionFlow, is the same thing... they are actually two different things and serve different purposes. some people don't like the effect of these processing modes ("Soap opera effect"), so they are reluctant to buy a 120hz set, but you can always turn it off.

i have the North American 46" version of your TV (LN46A650) and blu-ray movies are absolutely stunning. try watching an animated film with AMP on, even if its just a DVD... you'll truly be blown away. i personally only turn AMP on for animated films, or nature/documentary movies like Planet Earth. AMP really helps with scenes with a lot of pans... gives everything more pop, like a 3D effect as every object in motion stays razer sharp.

Don't most TVs support both 60 and 72 or something? 3 x 24 = 72, right?

Yeah, big panning screens on Planet Earth is one example where the lower framerate makes itself felt, and where something where I could see technologies like AMP or MF could help significantly.
 
most (if not all) LCD TV's (at least NTSC) don't support 72hz, and LCD's are the only HDTV's that have 120hz. i think some plasma's support 72hz but i'm not too sure (i don't really follow Plasma's much as i'm an LCD fan :) ). and why they didn't simply do 72hz instead of 120hz for LCD's as well, i don't know either. Sony is even coming out with a 240hz TV, which i think is more of a marketing ploy.

Why has this thread been resurrected? The topic (the effects of 3:2 pulldown) was thoroughly debated two years ago, and the conclusion was clear: Anti 3:2 pulldown was a solved problem.

If thegamesmaster has succeeded in buying a new TV without 3:2 pulldown compensation, then he suck as does his new telly. Congrats on buying a TV that makes watching DVDs unbearable.

There's no real reason that I can think of why a modern digital display couldn't be driven at any arbitrary frequency. The only reason to drive a LCD TV at higher frequencies is to either interpolate frames to get smoother transitions (AMP) or, in the case of LED backlighting, turn off the backlight when transitioning from one frame to the next to avoid false colours.

It's different for plasmas, since they pulse their cells with a set number of sub-fields to generate the frame/picture. The lower framerate of 24Hz material allows for more sub-fields for each frames which results in better control and higher contrast ratios. An example: Panasonics PZ85 series boasts 5000:1 contrast ratio (static) for 50Hz material, but 50,000:1 (again static) for 24Hz material.

Cheers

The problem may be solved but that doesn´t mean that every television includes the solution.
 
The problem may be solved but that doesn´t mean that every television includes the solution.

Just about. It's a feature that has been marketed under many names:

Panasonic: Progressive Cinema Scan or just "24p Playback(2:3)"
Pioneer: Pure Cinema
Sony: Cinemotion
Sharp: TruD
Samsung: Cinema Smooth
LG: Real Cinema
Philips: Perfect Natural motion

Note that in the case of 120Hz LCDs it's usually part of the image processing for the interpolated frames as well (eg. Philips' Perfect Natural Motion handles anti-3:2 pulldown and interpolation, the same for Toshibas LCD models)

I think it's safe to say that if your new TV doesn't handle anti-3:2 pulldown it doesn't handle 1080p24. I'm also pretty sure thegamesmaster's new Samsung handles it for him, without him noticing it.

Cheers
 
A 2 year old thread is definitely getting closed! The same topic can be resurrected in a new thread if someone wants to talk about it.
