Question on Kiss 450/500 deinterlacing

[zymbalist]

I am looking into buying one between 450, 500 and the new Liteon player. I would like to know hoe does the internal deinterlacing work. Given that I live in the EU and have a PAL/50 Hz TV, what happens when you try to play a NTSC encoded 23.976 fps divx or SVCD movie? Does the player apply automatic pulldown and display it properly in 25 fps PAL format?
Thanks for the info!

I've tried playing 23... and 29 fps movies without any glitch. Atleast nothing anyone watching the movies noticed.

thanks! are you using a PAL/50 Hz TV as well? I seem to gather from your post that it does indeed apply pulldown correctly and transforms the image from NTSC to PAL, which would be brilliant...

Why would you need to deinterlace if you're outputting to a TV :confused:

sorry ,not deinterlacing. I mean proper pulldown or NTSC to PAL conversion. That's what I really need cause I have a lot of NTSC source clips but a PAL/50 Hz TV...

Well with display you can mess around a lot without anyone really noticing. A lot of american shows on TV are really badly converted and even those are fluid, and only guys like us will probably notice (people around me hate it when i go complaining about a show that was Film->Telecined->NTSC TV->aired->recorded->converted to PAL->re-aired as PAL) ;). My TV-out can play 23.970 stuff but I guess the renderer speeds it up or something, cause it's also never choppy. With these dangerous practices imho it's just better not to find out what method is used, as long as it looks good.
