Actually the vPod supports MPEG4 (not H.264) resolutions higher than 480x480, at least in one direction at a time, which is fine because movies, except for silent ones, aren't usually square! The trick is that the total number of pixels can not be more than 480*480=230400. I.e. you can play 720x320, 640x360, etc, etc, on the vPod. The vPods screen is 320x240 so they get scaled down to that when played on it, but when played on a TV you get the full resolution. 640x360, incidentally, is 16:9. I've encoded and played a number of DVDs into iPod format at maximum possible resolution for the given aspect ratio and they look quite good on a TV. Resolution wise you'd be hard pressed to find any difference between it and a DVD. However, MPEG4 leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to shadow details - you tend to get gradations in shadows. How much this is noticeable depends on the scene.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SteveJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 3rd 2006 12:58PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
