Danke for linking allsp.com - my TV has died. I have a pile of opera DVDs to watch, but they would look and sound horrible on the PC SP episodes are a perfect antidote to my boredom

I might've already posted in this thread, and I might've said "The Wire," because that show transcends TV.

In a totally different league though, and very TVish, is "Scrubs." I totally adore this show. By the way, the 7th and final season just started airing on NBC. 

It's the new Seinfeld.

Do you have a video and sound card?  What type of monitor do you have?  Of course you needed to upgrade all of those things, it's the same price to replace your tv!

But you can still tweak your monitor to improve your video.  Brightness, contrast and color can all be played with if you haven't already.  You probably have, I'm just saying this just on the off chance that you haven't.

If you have onboard video instead of a card, you can still increase the amount of ram to allocate to it in the bios.

It may be the DVD drive itself being kind of rubbish, I'm not sure - when DVDs are played, they sometimes (I am not sure if it's all the time, as I've only tried a few before I stopped bothering) have semi transparent lines going across the screen around the edges of the people, and when they move (IIRC - probably  a poor description). Another more general problem would be that even if the PC ran them perfectly, I would prefer a larger screened TV with a sofa

An example from a screenshot I took ages ago to show someone what a production looked like:

I just noticed something kind of sad about the Seinfeld (sitcom) standup clips.

It was already obvious that a lot of the laughter was canned, but just now I've seen the camera cut to a man grinning after a joke, who not only was the same grinning man as I saw in the audience a few episodes ago, but it was also the exact same clip - that chuckle cannot be emulated, it was a one of a kind

[Hollywood]

Here are three of my favorites:

[Shrunk]

I don't recognize the third one.

[George]

I don't recognize the third one.

I think it's Perry Mason.

[Hollywood]

I think it's Perry Mason.

Yes, it's Perry Mason.

[Kullervo]

[BachQ]

My Mother the Car
The Flying Nun

[Norbeone]

I think Frasier is one of the greatest things to come out of the US, particularly the earlier seasons. Great stuff!

An example from a screenshot I took ages ago to show someone what a production looked like:

This has something to do with interlacing.  Conventional video is interlaced (refreshes the odd lines, then the even lines in successive frames) and DVD upgrades the format to progressive (update all of the lines (odd and even) in every frame).  If the source is interlaced and DVD is trying to represent this as non-interlaced, or if your DVD wants to output non-interlaced and your monitor only understands interlaced you can get this every-other-line-is-out-of-kilter effect.  This is the sort of thing that a good video processor can mitigate.
