The difference it that I make the pictures, watching TV is a passive experience where the participant has zero control over the content. I'm not interested in making movies and I'm not fussed on seeing other peoples efforts in doing so. It' pretty simple really. > I cant see how many of you can be so concerned about MP, color space, > color gamut, raw vs. jpeg, color balance, etc. and then say it doesnt > matter that the old crappy ntsc picture is far worse than what HD > provides. These are the very same things. Absolute rubbish. It's like top end Hi-Fi, if the only great pressings you can get contain crap music what's the point. -- Rob Studdert ======================================================================== ================================================ there you go again with the dumb "no good programming" remarks. First of all, a good HDTV with a HD signal not only blows away anything the old ntsc format could ever do, it often reproduces even NTSC analog signals better than the old NTSC sets could because of the extra video bandwidth and progressive scanning they have compared to ntsc only sets. Secondly, its not like hi-fi example which is wrong anyway. With a really good hi-fi playback system, ALL your recordings sound better, not just the very best. What you think is poor turns out to be fair, fair becomes good, good becomes great, great becomes incredible, etc. the same is true with a really good HDTV set compared to an old ntsc only set. Everything gets better, hell even VHS looks better than ever. And new HD programming or new transfers of high resolution sources ( MOVIES!) look way better than ever in HD. So I strongly disagree with your contention here, both on the idea that only the very best recordings will show a difference or that there arent any good HD programs. Hell think of the 1000's and 1000's of great movies that will be coming out in HD and when it comest to older titles, seeing these in HD is like seeing the first time after years of poor quality ntsc only viewings. Thats enough to keep a HDTV busy for the life of the product. jco -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
