[olug] DVD playback not optimal

[Brandon Lederer]

Ive made divx in the past, you must first check and see if the video IS 
interlaced or whether its a progressive scan DVD.  Progressive DVDs are 
higher quality.  HDTVs have the 2:1 pulldown i think is what its called.  
This does the deinterlacing.  Computer monitors dont have 2:1 pulldown.  Thus 
you have to have a deinterlacing filter (rather processor intensive).  
Watching a DVD on your computer monitor is like Watching them on an HDTV 
(Especially when you have 22" of NEC glory shooting rays at your face).  
Progressive Scan DVDs will always look much better.  

Hope i helped,
