Page 1 of Toy Story Picture Quality (R1)

I am disappointed with the picture quality on the above. Around the edge of objects is really pixely and when the camera pans I get a rippled movement effect on objects as well. I know it is computer animation and as with PC`s without a good enough graphics card you get this effect. Has anyone else had this this problem? I noticed it straight away and it`s bugging me. I have a lower end of the market 28", has it been found out?

I`ve not had any problems with this disc - if all your other films are playing fine, maybe there`s something wrong with your Toy Story and it might be worth getting it replaced?

Dazza.

Mine plays ok on 28" Sony Wega.............probably the dvd is at fault.

Is your DVD player set to output NTSC, or automatic, or PAL ?

It sounds like your DVD player is doing the NTSC-PAL conversion for you. Best to have the player passing the signal to the TV in NTSC (as long as your TV displays NTSC).

The Toy Story 2 disc is reference quality, so if you have any qualms about the picture quality there must be some problem, either with the equipment or the setup.

does sound like a NTSC->PAL conversion problem.

Toy Story was a digital to digital tranfer to dvd and is more or less perfect.

Give those men a cigar. Thanks Dan & cw2000. You were spot on, I checked my player and it was set to PAL. I thought I had it on auto.
