Well now I am totally confused. I thought all content was stored on HD-DVD's and Blu-Ray discs as 1080/24p and that this content could be sent to a display as 1080/24p if the player supported it (which some apparently do) and that if you had a 2Hz display there was no interlacing and de-interlacing or HD telecining or reverse telecining because the display would then just show each 1080p/24 frame 3 times (and therefore no cadence judder would occur). But, what you are now saying is that the timelines, chapters etc are rendered only on top of 1080i/60 content, so the player has to convert it first? Does this not mean that there is no point in having 1080p/24 output as that signal must be interlaced to a 1080i/60 signal and then converted to a 1080p/60 signal in the player? And does this not also mean that the even if the display is 72Hz we are going to have to rely on whatever substandard video processing the display has to remove the cadence judder?
I've spent a few months researching all the issue related to the optimium player/display combination and am now dismayed to hear I can't feed a 1080p/24 signal to a display.
Please enlighten me and everyone else! Thanks.
