DVD quality update.

[Shades]

:::I watched a few Anime DVDs today and I found the quality of the image is impressive.
However! the movies seems to have a little jump every few seconds and that distorts the image a little.
So, its really annoying.::::

That was my problem a few days ago.

Anyway, today I had it fixed. I downloaded the SP drivers again and this time it installed right.

Checked out the DVDs and no more jumping effect.

One thing instresting tho, I cleaned my registry and reinstalled PowerDVD (this time it worked), I found out PowerDVD actually looks better than the ATI DVD player.

It looks better in terms of color and image but PowerDVD does have problem that makes the DVD have little lines appear when they are moving. Not a big deal, I can deal with it but the distorted image effect makes me sick.

Also, now ATI DVD is refusing to play DVDs. I guess I just can't have 2 softDVD players in my system.

Yes. All Algore supporters and Algore himself should leave the country. Before he leaves, though, he should patent the Internet since he created it. Maybe he can get the same patent lawyers Amazon.com uses. hehe. :-)

All right, let's not prove our stupidity by defending an idiot.

I'm just responding to that comment about lines showing where things move across the screen. I'm pretty convinced this is an undesired effect of the motion compensation of the DVD decoder/video card.

The idea is that by analyzing the picture frame after the present one, resources can be saved by simply shifting the image slightly without rendering it from scratch. I could be wrong about this, since I'm on my first DVD drive right now (a concession, since I was planning on getting a playstation 2 as my first DVD player), and have nothing to compare it with besides displays in electronics boutique.

I saw that effect when I first installed WinDVD, but found that by installing some patches, this effect lessened, but didn't go away altogether.

But it's much more tolerable now.

Anime really shows that kind of crap, too.
Since it's drawn lines, it's easy to notice corruption in motion.

Well. if we do 50% of the U.S. population are gonna start packing their bags. Don't forget most of us are in industrialized states, think about the consequances.

Seriously, if Bush wins. I will support him.
What else I can do? I'll support him, hopefully he do a good job, and if not then god help us all.

Now reason why I didn't vote for him.
I know of his resume, the man have a total butt spanking 6 years of experience in politics and no experience in forgien relations. The greatest accomplishment I know of him is his executions, and thats not even a good thing.
And the man is not exactly the brightest guy.
So what if his daddy was a former president.


It's not like I'm republican or Democrats, I try to vote for somebody that has the skill and ability. Like a job interview you know?
Would you hire somebody with 6 days experience on the job and the greast accomplishment was killing roaches with raid in his former workplace?

Thats just my .02 cents.

The funny thing is the ATI DVD does't have those lines, only PowerDVD.

There are updates for PowerDVD but I need to buy it.
And also PowerDVD doesn't recongnize the RadeonDDR so it might not be using Radeon's DVD features.

Anyway, I'm sticking with PowerDVD because it just looks better. Besides I can install ATI DVD anytime.
