Some of the upcoming new titles that have no equivalent release in the USA.:

September 21, 2009

Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery (Region B?) (UK release)
Freddy Vs. Jason (Region B?) (UK release)
Payback (1999) Theatrical Cut (Region B?) [English language track] (UK release)
*
For the first time I prefered theatrical cut over the director's cut.... too bad if it's really Region B. This release I'll make an exception on the "nipple-on-the-cover" though.... unless Region A is releasing it too sometime soon biggrin.gif

If I remember correctly, last year they (Amazon) pre-advertise 6 or 7 blu-ray "hot" titles few days prior to Black Friday. They're Transformers (USD9.99), Iron Man (USD14.99), Kung Fu Panda (USD14.99), Indiana Jones 4 (USD14.99) & some other I can't remember... and at that time those were new releases, so those prices are dirt cheap!! But the sale price only last about 6 hours je... siapa cepat "check-out", dia dapat!! rclxms.gif And so did loads of other blu-ray titles which price dropped like durian runtuh oso... shocking.gif

All feature meant for cinema projection are usually shot at 24 fps, either digital or analogue doesn't matter. Even 2D or 3D animation.

If your TV doesn't support 24p, the player will do the 3:2 pull-down process.

Celine Dion concert was not shot at 24fps. So it depends on the camera they use, not all HD digital camera can do 24 fps.

ok, I'm asking silly question again. What's the difference (or similarities?) between these features:

1 1080p/24fps
2 100/200Hz motion flow
3 interpolation hmm.gif

Really messed up my head with these 3 things.... rclxub.gif

Added on September 14, 2009, 7:03 pmin terms of 100hz and 200hz

1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1
100hz

111111111111111111111111111111111
200hz

if you flip the 100hz and 200hz like cartoon making

which is smoother, (ans 200hz)  there is no breakage so less flicker(something like ghost image moving)
this usually happens when camera is panning left right or top bottom vice-versa biggrin.gif

Thanx bro ar & moo...

(1) ok, got the point... but I still want to know the real difference between (2) & (3). No.2 seem to be a feature from a HDTV like bro moo explained which I can understand and saw a demo before at BEST DENKI. What about (3)? Other forums keep mentioning this term (motion interpolation) that's refering to the frame movement of images of something too....like video movement as opposed to film movement (digital recording vs film?) rclxub.gif

I hope tech gurus like bro anfieldude or bro aiman can shed some light? hmm.gif

fathil,

LCDs require some form of frame interpolation due to the nature of their refresh rates. As such, frame/motion interpolation is normally there in all LCDs. Sony's motionflow is their way of doing frame interpolation. The algorithms usually due a lot more processing to try to maintain a smooth image on screen. Most algorithms analyze the frames, say 1,2 and insert frames in between them and refresh them on the screen. Seems easy, but in most implementations they introduce artifacting. The problem with most implementations are that it gives the film a more video like feel, because there is so much manipulation of the film to begin with. I would advise to turn all off when viewing 24fps content, unless u feel u like the look of video compared to film.

As you would have noticed, most plasmas do not mention frame interpolation due to the nature of plasma refresh. However, most plasmas still have do it on 24fps material. Panasonic plasmas take the 24fps repeat every frame and refresh at 48fps. The higher end Panny plasma & Samsung plasmas I believe refresh at 96fps and Pioneer plasmas refresh it at 72Hz. This is to reduce the judder effect of panning shots. However, the implementation of this can still be flawed. One example is Pannys implementation is not as good as the rest.

Projectors use frame interpolation and frame duplication depending on the projector company.

I believe for those viewing BD material, having a display that can properly display 24fps is critical. Whenever, a display cannot do that and does pulldown to display at 60Hz, it is a real mess! 

The aim of frame interpolation/motion interpolation is to give the viewer a better smoother feel to the movie.

Hope this helps.

Muchos Gracias bro! notworthy.gif

You advised to turn off interpolation feature when viewing 24fps content. Does that function button on the tv or BDP/PS3? And how do you determine the movie/content is 24fps... is it like comparing feature film & documentary? hmm.gif

All these interpolation/100Hz/200Hz are done by the TV. You should be able to turn it off at the TV.

My BD player always display the 24p whenever the movie starts. Almost all theatrical movies were shot at 24 fps. Some documentaries were shot at 24 fps as well, Planet Earth is one example.

Ok thanks bro! So, you are saying that this interpolation (video look) only affects the 100/200Hz LCDTV and not the normal 1080p or HD-ready LCDTV? hmm.gif

Another question: Does this interpolation exist when watching a dvd movie using the same LCDTV too?

Thanks for any response, appreciate it bro! notworthy.gif

some mention about the "white bar-coded" sticker( think its imprinted ) to differentiate the US release ones biggrin.gif

Yup, I said that hehe... but not all release though, only majority. The other is to check the white sticker on top of the casing, if got then it's US pressing. If you bother to identify the covers... usually HK (Asia) cover differs slightly to US (eg. Die Hard 4) and some totally different picture & layout. The most important is the content; like supplementaries & audio format availability. Picture (video) you can't check though... tongue.gif

Kisah parcel yang lambat dari Amazon:

Ketam already received those parcels. They opened and select the titles among them - to be brought back to their respective hometown and watch over the long Raya holidays. They bring it back once returning back to work the following week, re-wrap it and replace it back in the parcel and re-seal it. They chop on the box with the date which is a few days earlier and then release it. You guys receive the parcels by then with the knowledge that it just arrived... biggrin.gif laugh.gif tongue.gif

The purpose is to see the titles, you can't see it via the scanner. The ones suspected with inappropriate contents or banned in Malaysia will be submitted to KDN for further action. Many forumers here experienced this last year, including myself.

But don't worry, they don't do this all the time. Just when they have itchy hands as you said, but they still have the rights to open.

Yup, I personally brought my parcel to KDN office to present my blu-rays to the KDN officers... they just have a glance and sign on the papers.... lepas! sweat.gif
