Toshiba HD DVD players run into major problems when outputting 1080p/24

[HDTV1080P]

I do not understand why Toshiba would release a firmware update that was so buggy that most discs lose audio sync when the player tries to play 1080P/24 natively off the disc. Toshiba needs to fix this problem. I am glad I do not own a HD-DVD player.

“Unfortunately, Josh's initial testing of the 1080p24 output setting proved less successful. Although he says that 1080p24 output reduced the slight picture judder associated with the 3:2 pulldown process as normally seen on North American televisions (as well as a previously reported video stutter issue), in his testing the setting also had a negative side effect of throwing audio sync off on most of the discs played. He goes on to say that the problem was so distracting that he found himself forced to return the player to 1080i output.”

Quality shit right there. I am sure the HD DVD Fbs are proud. It is a better technology though, just as them.

This audio sync problem with most discs occurs on the top of the line Toshiba HD-A2. Hopefully a firmware update will fix this issue. The quality control department should have caught this problem before releasing it.

Who'd have guessed?

Maybe this is why they haven't had it yet....

Nice work, Toshiba. Now, if the next firmware update just makes all HD DVD players spontaneously implode, then you'll be doing HD DVD owners a huge favour.

the next update allows the player to get hot enough to boil the necessary water for discs
