Remember SD ?

[tp4tissue]

Check out this Overlay from a movie PRE-Bluray proliferation..

It's all blurry even though it's screenshoted from the full Bluray version.

Makes one thankful everything is today made for HD...

Hehe, back when most movie downloads would fit on a 700mb disc. I think I maxed the overburn at 712mb before I noticed quality issues )

I think it stands for Standard Definition, should be 320 * 240 if not mistaken... because dvd is 640 * 480...

I think he's just being cheeky but SD is generally considered 480i and 576i, I dunno about 240p pretty sure it's LDTV (low definition), 480p is considered EDTV, the rest idk off to wikipedia I guess :V Most of those CRT"s we all grew up with couldn't do 480p anyway, so it'd do 480i or whatever, depends on region (PAL/NTSC, etc).

I could be wrong and if someone wants to correct me pls do, I'm a little woozy from medication from a cold I caught

I love me some low res, 240p for life (I may have a financially unhealthy obsession with aging arcade games)
also 640x480 on a PC CRT looks so comfy, just the right scanline intensity

I never had experience with video CD's short of seeing thousands of them at dodgy markets but wiki seems to say the following

Resolution:
    NTSC: 352x240
    PAL/SECAM: 352x288

The 352x240 and 352x288 (or SIF) resolutions were chosen because it is half the horizontal and vertical resolution of NTSC video, and half the horizontal resolution of PAL (the vertical resolution of PAL already being half of the 576 active lines). This is approximately half the resolution of an analog VHS tape which is ~330 horizontal and 480 vertical (NTSC) or 330x576 (PAL).

Neat!

OuO learnt new things today, guess I should google more often.

Last time VCD on PC is still doable because that time my PC's CRT monitor can only go 800 * 600.
Playing DVD that time on PC is satisfactory enough, but now... reso < 480p is damn hard to "see"

I used to be really picky and still sort of am. If I have to settle for 480p so be it
