]]> Comment on The HDTV, 720p, 1080i and 1080p jungle by larre http://www.larre.com/2008/04/08/the-hdtv-720p-1080i-and-1080p-jungle/#comment-49 larre Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:57:11 +0000 http://www.larre.com/?p=25#comment-49 he he. I always read that... use 720p. But my brain is not made that way. I need to know why! In my case... I think 1080i from my decoder gives the best result. By the way, I have Discovery HD, and it is really a huge step forward from SD television. The picture is crystal clear, and you really get the feeling of standing in the nature, not watching it on TV. But I must say, that U2 3D gave a more whow-effect than the Discovery HD did :D he he.

The logic behind this is simply that downscaling by nature discards information. In reality a lot of people would even have difficulties telling a properly upscaled progressively-scanned SD picture from a HD source. More importantly: from your normal viewing distance you wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway, so why should you care? Choose 720p sit back and enjoy the show.

Benjamin Larsen Tue, 26 Feb 2008 07:53:09 +0000 http://larre.wordpress.com/?p=24#comment-33 Nice post Larre. While the description of the technology sounds a bit like a marketing-blurb from the producer you're enthusiasm really shines through. It's nigh on impossible not to be at least a little bit envious. Interesting remark about the "future of cinema" as well. It could well be that you're on to something. Digital distribution, well equiped home theatres and other forms of entertainment is taking its toll on Hollywood. In many ways it's similar to when the telly first arrived Stateside. To battle the new house-alter tinseltown came up with stuff like Cinemascope etc. to give the audience a superior experience to the small box in their living rooms. Perhaps super-high-def, high-frame-rate 3D Imax stuff is the answer to the recent onslaught of flat-screen-tellies and digital surround systems... Nice post Larre.

I am sorry that I am not able to help you out. I have not looked further into FB and the API. Have just implemented this simple integration test. Hope you figured it out!
