Hey,


The HD DVD version that was out was the DVE you can find on DVD,.. just the HD version.

The this that's coming out now is titled "HD Basics" and from what I understand give you only the most basic test patterns.

Add to that the Demo material on the disc is 720p... WTH? Stuff that just pop in I Am Legend or Enchanted and see demo material in 1080p,.. sheesh.

I will rent this version of DVE but I think the "HD Basics" is the signal that a more complete version is in the works. My display device is CRT Front Projector which is very tedious to set up and Red,.. Green, and Blue are all seperately tuned for Geometry, Focus, and White Balance or Grey Scale. So, I don't want something that's only slightly more detailed then the THX optimode patterns or the Disney Setup screens on that Rat movie.

There's the same kinds of test patterns that were on DVE, all they're doing is differentiating from the pro package.

Basically HD Basics is concentrating on 1080p calibration, while the Pro has everything from 480i-1080p and a lot more tweaker tests.

Add to that the Demo material on the disc is 720p... WTH? Stuff that just pop in I Am Legend or Enchanted and see demo material in 1080p,.. sheesh.

The cameras they had available at the time it was shot was only 720p. Either way, the demo footage is very much a stress test for your system anyway. It's all explained on the commentary

Wicky,

That's good. From what I could read online it wasn't the full set of patterns from DVE but a much simplified version.

If you're right (I assume you know already) then I'll certainly be picking this up.

(Although come to think of it my DVD version on DVE (the later version) doesn't even have the grey scale patterns on 10 step widows. It only had 0, 20, 40,60,80,100 which means I had to use a different test disc anyway. I'll certainly rent this HD Basics and check it out.)

Wicky, how will this disc perform for a 720p set? Is it worth it if you don't have 1080p?

[WickyWoo]

It'll perform fine. The 1080p stuff is more performance based

I haven't tried it on 720p, so YMMV
