I have a question, something I read on the internet about 1080i
vs 1080p for movies. Not for TV shows, movies only.
Movies are filmed at 24 frames per second.
Your TV supports 60Hz (or 60 frames per second).
Since 24 does not go evenly into 60, they raise it to a common
denominator of 120.
So a movie will display iterate 5 frames over 2 seconds (120 frames).
That's why you have something called "3:2 pullup".
The pattern would be similar to 1-1-1-2-2-3-3-3-4-4-etc.
For 1080i, the pattern is 1a-1b-2a-2b-3a-3b-4a-4b-etc.
Essentially comparing the patterns, 1080i is almost similar to 1080p
for a movie. (A TV show would be 1080p, as that's how they are
filmed)
Is this true? Is this how TV's work? If so, then a 1080i HD-DVD
player would be "good enough"?
