AI Thread Summary
Converting DVD movies and TV shows to a 320x240 video format for tablet viewing can yield surprisingly good results when displayed on larger screens, such as a 73-inch TV, due to the TV's processing capabilities. The quality remains acceptable for casual viewing, especially if the viewer sits at a distance, as the TV may upscale the image effectively. However, 320x240 resolution is generally considered suitable only for smaller devices. The user notes that they simply connect their tablet to the TV via HDMI without adjusting any settings, yet they are impressed by the playback quality. Overall, while the resolution is low, the viewing experience can still be enjoyable on larger displays.

I converted some of my DVD movies and. DVD TV shows to video formats to put on my tablet to watch them.

I made them 320x240 at. 2kbps and they look good on my tablet.

Now just for fun I connected the tablet to my 73 inch TV with an. HDMI cable.

I played it back in full screen and looked great.

Am I not right 320x240 is only good for tablets and small devices to watch?

It looked very very good on my 73 inch projection TV why?

Does your TV do some processing on the images it screens?
What happens when you tell the TV to display the video full size (pixel for pixel)?
 


How far are you sitting from the TV? How good are your eyes?

It is possible if your TV does smooth upscaling for 320x200 to not look awful if you sit far away, but it isn't really possible for it to look "good".
 


My tablet just will connect with an. HDMI cable.

And I do know settings at all on the tablet.

I just plug it in and whatever is on the tablet screen goes on the TV.

I just can not get over the 320c240 shows up great in full screen on my 72 inch TV.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
