I am in need of help finding a name for the effect that I see on my friend's HD setup from Comcast with a Motorola DVR box.
When watching HD movies through Comcast there is an odd effect that I immediately notice and he doesn't see. It is as if the conversion process has been trying to keep the movie centered or slow panning instead of normal action. I am not sure what makes this happen but I would like to know. I was imagining that it might be the 24fps to 30fps process because it makes the movie look almost like a handheld camera is being used to film it. The "film look" is gone and it's almost like watching a live play on stage. It's as if there is another HD camera recording a movie on a movie screen and it's floating around slowly, especially on wide shots with lots of motion.
I have seen this before but lately it's been really bad. Tonight it was happening badly on Pirates of the Caribbean (part 3 I think) and also on Troy.
He absolutely can't see this happening but he's new to HD and I have Dish Network and have had HD since it first came out years ago even before Voom came and went. I have a large 108" projection screen as well as an LG 47" 1080p capable LCD in the bedroom. I do not see this effect on my setup and never have and hope that someone knows what I am talking about. It almost makes me sick just watching it and it ruins movies in my opinion.
Thanks.
