maybe like very small improvement...
cos already down rez to PAL/NTSC mah..
but if the CRT can accept HD ready 1080i component, then maybe can see much better improvement when playing those HD download files..

When you watch the HDMI movie(Original) about 2-3 feet, you can easily see the pixel. But DVD(Original) can't really see it, anyone know why?

mkv (with H264 encoding) owns DVD9.

H264 is really amazing. I've downloaded 1 movie only 1GB+(mkv - H264) but the quality is better than the same movie with 4GB+ file encoded with Xvid. doh.gif Anyone notice the same sympton? I guess Xvid really outdated already.

Generally understood lar.

DVD-9 is MPEG-2, mkv is mostly H264, although it can be others.

x264 is the encoder. H264 is the codec. But a lot of people just put x264 in their NFO file because they encode it using x264, hence the confusion.
