[Shop-talk] Off Topic? Any video gurus out there?

[Mark Meany]

Matt,

By 'best', I would be looking for resolution & color/contrast rendition; the 
least degradation from the original picture. That LG DN798 I referred to can 
read .jpegs that I've burned onto a CD. I'd be showing my pictures on a 
conventional 'roll 'em up screen'.

To all, I'll be taking off for the weekend & won't be back until 9/4 so if 
any of you answer & I don't respond, it's 'cause I'm away...

Thanks,

Kind of need to know what you mean by best.  Are you looking to maximize 
quality of image, fit as many pix as possible on a DVD, or speed of play? 
Sounds like it will largely depend on what your player will show for you. 
Older players may not even have a still picture capability.  Many newer ones 
can convert a wide range of formats.  A lot of flat screen TVs now simply 
have USB ports into which you plug a jump drive for immediate slide shows... 
Won't be long before the projectors have that as well.

Can anyone suggest what is the optimal format for viewing .jpegs off a DVD
player which is being fed into a video projector? I'm trying to emulate what
I do with my 35mm slides & slide projector but doing so, now, with my
digital camera images. What I've been able to come up with is a 1080p
Upconvert DVD player with an HDMI output (an LG DN798) fed into an HDMI
capable Mitsubishi HC1500 projector. I don't have the smarts to know whether
this is overkill or not; I'm just relying on what I've about HDMI vs. the
analog component & S video interfaces. I'm also trying to avoid buying a
laptop as the feed source, if I can, to save $$. The set up I just mentioned
is < $1100.

Thanks in advance...
