Re: Is the ever-present motion artifact 'problem' an incurable situation?

Does either your player and/or the display device have the 2/3 pull down alogorhythm? That might eliminate what is bothering you about DVD. I assume you know what that means but for those that don't: when film, shot at 24 frames per second (fps) is transferred to video (30 fps) an extra frame is added every five frames to (for want of a better term) "even" things out. That's why preceptively speaking films on video do not have the same level of involvement as actual films do (obviously there are other factors at work as well). The 2/3 process (called by some 3/2) addresses this and smoothes things out for a more film-like presentation.
