hello all,
I just had a long conversation with my neighbor about dvd film and actual true film. He says that it is impossible for a dvd to have the same quality as film (he added that terrabytes would be necessary to reproduce film quality on a dvd). He says it has nothing to do with framerate and that hdtv still looks like complete crap even with the best dvd player. I have a hard time believing this (that analog film quality is inherently better than digital film quality, regardless of processing). I would like some clarification, and please be as technical as is needed, I have a degree in EE (mainly writing firmware), just not practicing, so I will appreciate the technical data. But i would definitey rather watch a good movie in the theater than in my living room.
