I'm not sure you guys experience the same problem i face or not. I try watching DVDs movie(Original, not pirated) on my Macbook Pro and the picture quality is bad. I use both Apple and VLC player to watch. Both also same - bad quality. Any suggestion or idea I can improve the picture quality? Thanks.

Is it probably due to the high resolution of your LCD screen? DVD resolution are lower therefore the picture is bad when you make it full screen. Try some HD-DVD and it should be fine. Thats my rough guess anyway.

yea.. this is ntg to do with mac la.. please

Btw, if you free, you can do a little bit of testing. You got any generic pc? Go test it out. Play that dvd in those generic pc, use whatever software or VLC for windows. The "quality" will surely look the same as in your mac machine.

The fact is due to higher resolution when you watch movies in PC or Mac, whereas the normal TV resolution is lower. So when you watch it, it will look abit nicer

After watching HD movies, even DVDs don't seem to cut it for me anymore

The 720p movies does alright on the Macbook. Mine lags when going full HD....

Talk bout watching movie, the DVD ROM is quite sensitive too. I'm importing songs to my iTune from my original audio CD. At 1st, put in the CD, iTune not responding. Have to force iTune to quit. 2nd time only can import and some more slow too. I thought my audio CD is dirty, then checked and found that the surface is clean. Wonder what's wrong with the DVD ROM. Any MacBook Pro users facing the same sensitivity of the DVD ROM problem? Thanks.

yea, due to resolution problem

@ timber, mac got hd dvd add on?

even 720p looks abit blurred on the imac, @ least 1080p is needed

Macbook pro does have a super ultra sensitive dvdrom. i hate that. Because some of my dvds cannot be played in it.

Other than that, for the video quality. dont use VLC for dvd. the implementation of the video codec playback is not yet fine. It's got flaws that has yet been addressed.

then wat shud we use?

What about not in full screen mode? Is it the same when you set the video size at 100%?

Pirated media?

really? Hmm.. for my mb, don't have any problem le. The only problem is those china dvd barely can play la. Those P software or those movies dvd no problem

Guys, just wanna share with you. I try playing DVD movies on Windows XP on my Mac and just to say that the quality is much more better than watching DVD movies on my Leopard. It sounds weird but is true.

Anyway, anyone out there knows any 3rd party application for watching DVD movies on Leopard? I mean with great output. Thanks guys.
