The Good The Bad The Weird 1080i

[Realist01]

You guys should get the South Korean Collectors Edition. Extras are PAL encoded, but the disc is region free.

This is incorrect. South Korea is not a PAL territory. The supplemental features on the Korean disc are in NTSC (480/60i) and 1080p -- and perfectly playable on Region-A players and North American TVs:

I'm sorry. They are playable, they just don't have subtitles for the extras. Sorry about that.

So the Canadian BD of this movie is 1080p for certain?

How does the Canadian BD of this movie compare with the Korean BD of this movie? If it's better, why is it better?

1080p is the best hd video we can get
and the norm for blu ray and what they should be transfering all movies too

1080i is still good, but it is interlaced, so its not too good with fast motion,cuz not all info is on the screen at once,when with 1080p we are getting the all info and the same time, no missing lines, in reality 1080i is really 540p, so if studios r going to be lazy then mite as well transfer movies in 720p instead of 1080i

[OJs other glove]

ok i got ya. thanks for the info.

Your 1080i description is accurate for content from an interlaced source, except that very few of us have display devices which can actually display 1080i. If the original source is progressive, and if the video is properly interlaced and put through 3:2 pulldown, and if the player/monitor recognizes this and de-interlaces and reverse pull-downs the video, then the video will be indistinguishable from true 1080p video. Of course, there are a lot of "ifs" in that statement. Additionally, a 1080i encode suggests a 1080i master

Too rich for me. Was this re-released in 1080p in the US or are there any plans to?
