  • Re: B&O MP3 players

    Sounds like she is cutting off her nose to spite her face. I never understand why people base their purchasing decisions on anything but trying out the product and doing a bit of research!

    I don't understand your friend's logic when it comes to the iPod so perhaps you could put her straight on a few things: the 8GB iPod nano at £129 is, in my opinion, about as good as you can get value-for-money wise. Apple have hit the sweet spot here in terms of price, features and overall quality. Excellent sound quality, video playback

    Great Scott! We're going to have to get the DeLorean up to 88mph to get back to the 21st century!

    AT: "Why don't you get a film on Blu-Ray and compare it with its equivalent on TV, sort your 24fps issue out... compare like with like and then come back to me?" Last time I did it with a top Panasonic 65", with a top BR player, and with a demo BR disc. The left side of the picture was the DVD version, the right side was the BR. In

    I haven't seen your previous posts about your TV - I'm so very sorry What's with the sarcasm about the Sony TV - at least it does 24p! In my initial response, I wanted to helpfully explain about the reason for the judder you were seeing on your technically incapable B&O but I'm quite happy to let you wallow in your ignorance now

    moxxey: jonnyb: So what? It's not the codec that ultimately matters - it's the bitrate. The higher the bitrate the less efficient the compression has to be anyway - and bluray will win out over low-bitrate TV tranmission any day What TV do you own? The codec very much matters. MPEG-2 creates a fair amount of artifacts when scaled up. Besides

    Incidentally, MPEG2 was only used on the very earliest Blu Ray discs in 2006. They've used AVC (MPEG4) for ages now. Here's a random quote from someone who actually did a like-for-like comparison on Planet Earth (a title on BluRay which, by the way, benefits considerably from 1080/24p which is very noticeable if you're sensitive to it as

    Well you seem to be describing failings with the transfer of the film to HD rather than any intrinsic failing of the format. All sorts of factors affect how an HD film looks, from the original grain of the film, to the bitrate it was transferred at. It seems to me that the ones you've liked were good transfers and the ones you haven't were poor

    It's to do with 3:2 pulldown and its inablilty to completely solve the problem with 24fps fitting into 30fps 24p mode on the PS3 with a TV that can do 1080/24p will sort the problem out
