Re: It's not the disc

It's the PLAYER. A progressive scan player requires a digital television and will produce a higher resolution picture from any DVD.A progressive scan player hooked to an analog TV will show a picture but it won't be progressive scanned.

2/3 (more accurately called 3/2) "pulldown" takes into account that film is shot at 24 frames per second and TV has 30 frames per second. To account for this discrepancy a device (sometimes in the TV, sometines in the DVD player) will adjust for this, resulting in a "smoother" picture.
