Pete: Check with your references about NTSC resolution. You obviously sound like you know what you are talking about and I won't pretend that I know a whole lot about this stuff. I did, however, research the matter before posting (I _usually_ do ;)). Unfortunately, I don't have time to research it more right now, as I'm running late for a tennis match already... Just to make sure we agree on what we disagree on... DVD for NTSC is 720x480 @ 30fps DVD for PAL is 720x576 @ 25fps Ok, I assume we can agree on that bit... For the different TV standards... Where I think we differ: NTSC has a nominal bandwidth of 4.2MHz (see e.g. cs.tut.fi, whereas the PAL bandwidth is 5MHz. Several other sources quoted by: us-epanorama.net say the same thing. I think this may be the source of our disagreement. I'm not saying that I'm not wrong... Your post was very convincing, but I don't have time to go through the calculations now... Going to be late as usual... -fyo
