I have purchased 2 EVP Telugu dvd’s. Bad news: they both are authorized by using Video mode. While they look good on smaller displays, they look bad on big screen.
On a positive note Allari Alludu is lot better than Hello Brother and quite good on big screen because it is an Anamorphic wide screen dvd. For both of them the source is good and clean.

DeInterlacing - Weave:
Weave is the default mode that should be used when viewing progressive DVD data (Movies for example). Using this mode you will see horizontal streaking for non-movie data (NTSC/PAL content such as movie trailers). If you plan on viewing DVD movies, you must set your decoding software to weave mode. Weave is the default DeInterlacing mode all decoding software use for Movie playback (unless set to some sort of detection mode).
DeInterlacing - BOB:
T.V. playback works a bit differently compared to a computer monitor. It has two fields, each playing in an interlaced form at either 30 or 25fps (NTSC/PAL). When NTSC/PAL content is played on a computer monitor using the standard Weave DeInterlacing mode, you get a lot of horizontal streaking when the camera pans or objects move quickly within a scene. To combat this, you can use the BOB DeInterlacing mode. What BOB does is play the content at twice it's frame rate and each frame is displayed in only one of the fields. This makes the image appear to BOB up and down a bit, especially when text is displayed, but doing so eliminates the streaking. Using the BOB mode is only useful for NTSC/PAL content such as Movie Trailers. On Progressively encoded Movie content BOB will cause the image to look slightly blurred.

To view the dvd’s that are authorized in video mode we need to set DeInterlacing – BOB if it not set to smart detect,
Which gives less sharper picture with blurred image.
