For serials, I will not say one word. To each his own.

vcds of Tamil comedies of a few years back

Actually, in India, things could be excused because VHS itself was crap. Also very few people had VCRs and VCDs were much simpler to use because of the handling ease and playing capability on computer.

Since I was in US most of the time then (1990s), I sort of bypassed the VCD phase and directly went to DVD.

Too damn costly. (Damn! Groan!)

The latest three cost me $70. (more groans)

At least the quality will compensate a bit (weak smile).

Correct. But what is hardware without software, eh?

I just purchased the player yesterday. When I return back to India, I will have to purchase a 1080p TV soon. Check my reply to your post in #10.

he has a 720p projector, so that would be enough as most of the bluray movies are 720p and a few are 1080p. Correct me if i m wrong.

I am not on holiday - but for work.

Yes. I have a 720p projector. But all the four titles purchased are 1080p. I do not think that any Blu Ray title is 720p.

Watching on the hotel's CRT TV did not make any difference and I EXPECTED THAT.

Here are some facts:
  1. Only the HDMI cable can deliver the 1080p performance on a compatible display device, viz., must have a TV or projector that is capable of rendering 1080p. HDMI cable can give output as 480i/p, 720i/p, 1080i/p.
  2. The component video cable (YPbPr) can deliver 480i/p, 720i/p, 1080i.
  3. The composite RCA cable (Y-W-R) can deliver 480i or 480p only.
  4. The difference between 1080i (interlaced) and 1080p (progressive) is that the 'i' picture will have more flicker.
  5. HDMI is digital whereas component/composite is analogue. PAL/SECAM/NTSC is irrelevant in HDMI.
  6. HDMI and Composite carry audio+video whereas Component is video only.

Thanks for sharing. I also found HDMI is good for High Definition audio and video transmission.

Default More pics
I am finally home. I am posting pics of the movie "The Rock".

Note:
  1. The pictures have been taken by a digital camera of a reflected projection. So this is a camera print.
  2. I projected the movie on a screen and pause the frame.
  3. The pic was taken without tripod; so there is possibility of some blur.
  4. The HD pictures are NOT true HD; rather they are 720p.
