Xbox 480i/480p Dvd -> 1080i Tv
« on: July 02, 2005, 10:37:00 AM »
Hi All,

I found a hack for changing DVD RegionX to playback at 480p, but I'm not sure if this is what I want, since my TV upscales everything to 1080i. I'm using the component in, no HDMI.

Should I stick with normal 480i -> 1080i, or is it worth using the hack to go to 480p?  Most movie DVD's are at 480p, right?

I'm just hoping to avoid any unnecessary deinterlace/upscaling, or anything else that might affect picture quality

thanks,
protovision

PS:  I occasionally use XBMC to playback DVD's as well, but I have XBMC default to 720p, and Im not sure if this is what is used to playback dvds as well, and whether I'd run into the same problem above.  Should I also set XBMC to use 480i/480p?
