It seems I'm stuck with 60Hz on my Z2, which isn't the best for film sources. I'm a bit horrified that I didn't find this info while I was researching projectors -- I believed the multisync specs.
What is the best solution? I've been trying different Linux players, but the video is so jerky it's unwatchable. It sounds like Windows has some better solution. What is it? How do you get a HTPC to display a 24Hz NTSC DVD smoothly on a 60Hz projector?
I've been comparing the output to a cheap DVD player. I can't see any timing problems with the DVD player at all. I gather that there must be some judder. The Z2 does inverse telecine, reconstructing the 24 frames/sec, and must repeat a couple of them to get it to sync to 60Hz (unless its changing its internal refresh rate for svideo sources). How do I get the HTPC to be this smooth?
Is there any easy way to verify the refresh rates used by the Z2 when doing inverse telecine on a svideo input? I suppose I could try to master a NTSC disc with some sort of test pattern.
