DIVX, 27" TV to Big Screen

[scottdw]

I hope this is not a stupid question but I have a bunch of Divx movies that I ripped from DVD's and watch them on my Sony 27" Trinitron TV via Svideo. The movies look fine on my TV but are a bit "fuzzy" at times on a computer monitor, which I am fine with because I only watch the movies on the computer hooked up to the TV.
I want to switch to a Big Screen TV, maybe around 50", and was wondering if the movies will look the same or alot worst on the new TV. I would be hooking up the computer the same way using s-video.

I know that if you hook up a HI-DEF tv with all of the right equipment to your computer it would look basically just like a monitor which would make the movies look "fuzzy" but I will not be doing that, I would just be hooking it up normally to the S-video output of my computer to the S-video input of the TV.

Some of the movies I have I wanted to encode them to only 1 cd so the quality of them is a little lower but look fine on my 27" currently.
I used Gordian Knot for all the movies using DIVX 4.11 as the codec (I know it's old) and the 1 cd movies in question are no lower that say 512x272 and a bitrate of 700-800. Some of the movies I encoded 2 cd's which I am sure will not be a problem.

Thanks for any advise you can give.

I guess I could just take a laptop with video out up to best buy and see how they look:D

I watch my DivX backups on a 50'' Mitsubishi. Even "bad" quality movies look good.

sorry for the delay in posting and you've probably already figured out your problem but I'm just catching up on stuff, but...

the resolution in a tv is much much better than your computer monitor therefore on your monitor it's fuzzy but not on a 27", and then yet again for a 50" it would increase that much more... I've got a friend who uses a 52" JVC as his "monitor" and he can't tell the difference if a movies ever fuzzy cuz when I borrow them I complain if I try watching them on my monitor, god knows why I put up with that for this long.

all in all, invest in a dvd-writer for 200usd and it will make ALL YOUR movie problems disappear... ;)

Are you talking about HDTV's ???

Otherwise I dont know at what resolution your monitor is running... :confused:

It should be higher than your TV's resolution !!!
