Now dont get startled...just wanted to catch ur attention

Allrite, the real bad news is that I finally got a progressive scan DVD player (JVC - XV502-SL)..and got a chance to recheck all the DVDs as to whether they are progressive or not.

Here is an update on most of them.
I was wrong vis-a-vis EVP dvds ( the ones authored by Sai Digital Base). When I change my Progressive SCAN settings to auto ( so that it can detect if the DVD source was film based - green , or video based - red).
With DEI, DEI-EROS, Columbia Tristar, and all Hollywood DVDs, the indicator turned Green. Of course I couldnt see anything on the TV as I have simple P&S TV.. (but the indicator light changed quite a few myths)...

Judwaa - Videosound ( Film based)
All DEI, DEI-EROS dvds (Film based)
KKHH - SuperDigital (Film Based)
DDLJ (Lousy piece of shit) - SuperDigital (Film Based)

All EVP (Sai Digital Base) and (Media Dimensions) are all Video sources... (However why do some of them give us 24fps between an interval mystifies me )

& yeah I have finally ditched APEX as of today

Yaar! tou bhi AAKHIR LINE PAR AAGAYA!Bhido! sahi hai! Way to Go Nath, Prog scan(rules) lol!

Man! u are going to love DTPH/KKHH anamorphs, when u buy them, March 2003, after price drops, below, $15 or $10, what is ur BOTTOM LINE?? Miyan! :vsneaky:

Most of the EVP HINDI DVDs are Film sourced and are properly flagged. It is just that your DVD player has failed to detect it.

Source indicators depend on what are they looking for and how they look for it.

Rana.

P.S.
sknath, it will be nice if you could have this discussion copied on to your other thread "Progressive/ Interlaced Tutorial". I would like to add further comment to the above in that thread. Thanks.

Rana,

I guess you are kidding.

No I was not kidding. But forgot to mention that I was talking about EVP's Hindi DVDs (I have edited and added this missing word (Hindi) now). Other than Kashmir Ki Kali and Aradhana, I have other 8 or 9 EVP DVDs and all of them show 24 steps per second for which I need to press the step button 24 times as well. To me this is a clear indication of proper encoding. I may be wrong though.
But, in the past I did insert some of these Hindi EVP DVDs into a progressive DVD player (in the shop) where Film source light did come on.

Sknath,
Welcome to the club. But is there any particular reason to choose this player. I heard lot of good things about Panasonic RP62 or 82(Faroudja chip set based player) with same price range and do a lot better job with the material we are watching.

Rana,
I hope you guys are correct about the EVP Hindi dvd’s. I don’t have a single one to test.
I would like you to try testing this in the PowerDVD. Change the PowerDVD setting to Force Weave and see whether you can find any combing on action scenes.

Finally the man who recommended Apex to everyone has gone up in the world. Congratulations.

Someone actually recommended an APEX??? :wot:

Baap yeah... i would have stuck with apex..had APEX 800 been available here in Canada but it isnt..

Ganti..I purchased a Hitachi DVD player which had the Faroudja chip..and which had the same price as the JVC one..but i returned that dvd player, as it wasnt playing my VBR mp3s
