I would still think watching about an hour of video with some photos mixed
in would be enough for the eyes to make a distinction. Again, I never said
that the quality would be that of HD, but that those past customers told me
that the picture quality was great on their HD sets. I would also think that
being used to watch TV broadcasts, they would be able to recognize any
differences, especially if it was poor quality. It is true then that a
DVD-5/9 can be played on an HDTV set with excellent quality.

HD is still based on MPEG-2 compression, although at another format level to
it. Read from the DVD Forum: http://dvdforum.org/hddvd-tech-intro-eng.htm

MPEG can make standard VHS quality video and lets say high resolution photo
images made into a movie, a much better picture. I'm not beating my chest
saying that I've got the best on the market. I am however telling you that I
review a tape before doing it and test the DVD after production and there is
a difference.

Whether there are adjustments to the brightness, contrast, color and
saturation during intake to the filtering at MPEG compression, let alone
DVDit's highest setting for quality, these videos come out looking much
better than VHS. Hence, digital enhancement via MPEG compression.

When we upgraded to DVDit Pro 6, the stereo sound now boasts a smoother and
yet deeper bass emission. Sonic has included 5.1 Pass-Through in their
release of Pro 6. The previous version did not carry the same effects and
was only 2.0 stereo.

We've done projects for ourselves and in comparison to what we have now to
what we had, there is a difference in both picture and sound quality.
