Post Subject: Video data 2d vs 3dPosted by steverino on: 1/18/2013

My observation about video data was in the context of 2D images. DVD or film has a succession of individually static frames or pixel rasters; it does not attempt to provide continuous 3D images. Those are vastly more difficult to produce and involve all kinds of obvious artifacts with present technology. But your example is also correct that the resolution of the decoding system whether video or audio affects the enjoyment of recordings produced at a different resolution level. If I were forced to discard all my LPs and only listen to CDs I would buy two different kinds of CD players: one to play 5% of the CDs and one to play 95% of the CDs. The latter CD player would be a much lower resolution device I can assure you. To a much more limited degree I sort of do the same thing in hifi. I use different cartridges to play classical music than I do pop records.
