• Video on a DVD discs may be either
video material (originally shot on video)
or film material (originally shot on film).
Video material has a frame rate of 30
frames/sec.(NTSC), compared with 24
frames/sec. for film. This player converts
film material to 60 frames/sec. (in
progressive scan mode). PureCinema
adjusts the picture so that it matches
more closely the picture quality of a
cinema screen.
You can see whether video on a DVD
disc is film or video material by display-
ing the video transmission rate (see
page 45). If a hash mark (#) appears
next to the transmission rate display, it
is film material.
