1080i From Dvdx2
« on: June 10, 2004, 03:12:00 AM »
My current setup includes a modded xbox connected to an X1 PJ with HD AV pack.

I want to play original DVDs or my backups from HDD in 1080i or 720p resolution. Now I can watch them 480p but don't know how to do it in 1080 or 720.

In MSdashboard setttings all 1080,720 and 480 are enabled. And I tried to play the DVD in MSDash and DVDx2.

I can see if the signal is 480 or different via PJ's onscreen information.
Hope it's the right place to ask.

Any idea?

Better place to ask is the audio/video forum so moving there for you...

You want 720p more than anything else.

Use XBMC which supports this mode.

Remember in all cases the source material is in 480p/i so XBMC is upscaling it in software.

With interpolation turned on it looks a tad better, but this will not be a dramatic improvement.

Yes, I tried it with XBMC. Actually, at first I played with the settings in MSDash, I disabled 480p and 720p. I did it since I thought it'll be 1080i but NO! I ended up with "error 21"  :angry:

Anyway, I solved that problem and tried XBMC. I change it to both 720p and 1080i in XBMC but  I watched a DVD only in 720p. It was a bit darker than 480p. Maybe because I use a PJ. I'll try to find out the reason. After setting everything I'm gonna post (or gve the links) of pictures in different resolutions.

But thanks for Your help.
