Those extra gigabytes allow more data. More data allows much more image information. The other half of the equation is the all important "p". Normal television, "i", is interlaced. That means the picture on the screen has every other line rewritten every pass. This happens at sixty times a second and your eyes can't really see that half the picture doesn't match the other half. This is how the motion is created. What this interlacing does lead to is a certain amount of fuzziness to the picture. The "p", and don't ask what the p stands for, is like a movie screen. A series of still images, each completely replacing the previous image. "p" rewites the entire screen every pass. There is no interlacing fuzziness. Every line is absolutely sharp and crisp. Some manufacturers, at least in the early switchover to digital, made some TV's that were "i" only, and not full 1080. Your television, video system on your computer, has to be capable of the full 1080p to get the best effect. If you've never experienced 1080p of a honking big screen.....................I'm sorry. I suppose that in theory it would be possible to copy to a thumb drive and watch, but all the same DRM restrictions would still bite you in the posterior. I've seen many movies that come as a two disk set. One DVD and one Blueray. -- I may be crazy, but crazy is better than stupid. _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
