how can i tell if a movie is 1080p/24

[Dreedree]

Hi y'all,

I was wondering is there any method that i can tell if a picture is in 1080p/24.?
Or should it be on de sleeve?

Can anyone tell me?

TIA.

for the most part, every theatrical movie on Blu-ray is encoded at 1080p24 on the disc. there may be a few exceptions, but i don't know of any off the top of my head.

[jkwest]

most of the ones that aren't are the concert releases and special interest...I.E. Planet Earth Discovery Channel Release, BBC Galapagos..etc.

the only theatrical release that I can think of that is only 1080i is Short Circuit. Everything else is 1080p outside of concerts(including opera) and made for tv movies and some television shows.

My player (Pioneer/Elite BDP-05FD) has an "Output Resolution" button on the remote which displays the source resolution and the player's output resolution on-screen.

easy way to tell: if it makes you drool, it's 1080p

[Dreedree]

It makes me droolin' allright. Beautifull images and awesome sound.

But, i dont know, i thought that maybe i should be able to see the resolution info on my screen or something like that.

Anyway, thank you all for your replies.

On my TV's remote I have a Display button I can press and it will show some info, including the 1080/24p in the upper right hand corner.
Fool around with your remote and maybe you'll find something similar

@KamiAmaya

Thanks for your reply.

If i press the display-button on my tv's remote all i see is "1080/p". There is no mentioneing the "24". Should i be assured that it is 1080/24p ?

The player can send it in 1080/24 and the tv can receive it in 1080/24. So the manuals say.

Is there someone with the s300 and the 40v3000-tv who can tell me?

The movies however are looking

Well your TV, the 40v3000, I'm assuming its a Sony KDL-40v3000? If it is it's the same as mine only a smaller size, and I didn't have to change any setting on the TV itself.
I think it's on your player, I'm looking at the manual for it now. Do you have a Video Setup Option anywhere? Because under that option there should be a "24p Output" selection that should be set to on... Other then that I'm not sure because I'm using a PS3

And yes your TV will display 1080/24p, not just 1080p

Yes, it's the Sony KDL-40v3000. I see in your sig that you have the 46" version.

I do have set the option 24p to "ON" in the video setup.
Otherwise, could it be the HDMI-cable being faulty? (just guessing)

Also i know that there is a difference between the US-versions and the EU-versions of these tv's. IE: the XMB-menu you have and i don't. 10-bit vs 8-bit.
Could that be the problem?

I don't know.

I saw the light today

On the remote is a button called "Video Format". With that button you switch thru the available mode of display from 480i to 1080/50p OR (here it comes) 1080/24p. So i set the value to "Auto" and it showed 1080/24p while viewing Nathalie Portman in "V for Vendetta".

Anyway, thank you all for helping me.

PS, since 1-october Sony started a special action here in the Netherlands. If you buy a tv (100 Hz or 200 Hz) you'll get the bdp-s350 with 6 movies.

Glad you got it fixed. I saw in the manual about the "video format" button, I got busy with something and totally forgot to post about it Sorry about that.

Oh, and isn't V for Vendetta freaking awesome!
I love the explosions and the Tchaikovsky music playing, I usually watch those scenes over and over again

Those blasts just get to you.
