jiveclive:is there really a visual difference in using the new upconvert dvd players using the standard format dvd?
There is some visual difference. The sad reality is that a standard DVD is only broadcast in 480i or 480p [with progressive scanning.] The problem for me, at least, is that the upconversion doesn't send a pure signal to the TV. I'm just waiting for an affordable high def player and I'll skip the upconverting phase all together.
Of course though - there will be advocates of the upconverting players because of the increased resolution...
jiveclive: is using the s-video output on the dvd player the same as an hdmi upconvert signal?
In reference to the upconverting DVD players? HDMI is a better option for connecting between the player and display.
