AVS HD 709 - Blu-ray & MP4 Calibration - Page 6

I would think the "single line scan" option could be used. As far as I can tell the feature gives a graphical representation of signal levels. I'm thinking if you go to the uniformity section you'll get a horizontal line across the monitor. I'm thinking if you use the windows it will show black (0%) at the outsides and the % window in the middle, so that if you went to the 100% window you could have both black and white on the monitor for setting brightness and contrast. If you use it for the colors, then you would probably want to use the 100% colors section. We do not have vertical gray bars like is shown in the manual (the middle of Misc Patterns chapter 1 might be similar), but by the best I can tell from their pictures I think the waveform monitor just relates signal levels. To me it looks like an amplitude monitor of some sort. By the "Any signal level below the recommended range will be forced to 0%" it appears anything below 0% will be clipped like can be seen on the black-clipping pattern from the disk (0% is 16 on the black-clipping pattern).

On the Nero 8 trial I was using to burn to UDF 2.5 for testing, you have to select DVD even though it initially comes up as CD. My player can't even read CDs and AVCHD is intended for DVD as far as I know, so I think it makes sense to burn to DVD. I would agree with the reply to try something other than Nero 6.

The first one worked for me, yet I'm not sure how someone would run that http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache...lnk&cd=1&gl=us I find it interesting that a HD player can run it, but I really don't get the practical application. There's not much there that's there which is different between players or doesn't show up on a spec sheet. Beyond that, I would have to get permission to use it. Feel free to explian how to use it and the application, but aside from the "Player.capabilities.video.sub" nothing much caught my attention as interesting in the results.

It had to happen sooner or later, so 2000+ downloads for the first incompatability report isn't bad. I don't have too many ideas, except maybe listing the player as incompatible

Using your player model and AVCHD in a search basically returns nothing, so I'll guess the player doesn't support that format. BDMV in the player thread also didn't return much either except a mention of incompability on dvd+r, so I'm not necessarily inclined to upload that Blu-ray format. BDAV is the only other format, and that doesn't work with menus. In short in regards to Blu-ray on DVD, someone would have to inform me what the player can do because I didn't see any reports of it being able to play anything.

The HD DVD also sounds like a player issue of some sort. The only thing I can think to suggest is to try maybe a -r if you're using +r DVD. I suppose it's possible that either Ulead or Samsung might eventually get things to work if one of the two is the cause of the HD DVD issue.

These disks are HD formats. Even though they are put on DVD, the versions are entirely different. Just like how the disks will not play on DVD players, they will not work with incompatible players. The HD DVD will not even play on my XA2 if the Blu-ray version is included on the same disk.
