Converting DVD Movies and TV Shows to Video Formats for Tablet and TV Viewing

[biferi]

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.

I would like to clarify that the quality of a video is not solely determined by its resolution and bitrate. While converting DVD movies and TV shows to video formats for tablet and TV viewing, it is important to consider other factors such as the video codec, frame rate, and color depth. These factors can significantly impact the overall visual quality of the video.

In your case, it is possible that the video codec used in the conversion process was able to efficiently compress the video without compromising its quality. Additionally, the resolution of 320x240 may not have been a limiting factor in this scenario as the TV's display size and resolution are also important factors to consider.

Furthermore, the HDMI cable used to connect the tablet to the TV may have played a role in maintaining the video quality. HDMI cables have the ability to transmit high-quality digital signals, resulting in a clear and crisp display on the TV.

In conclusion, while 320x240 may be considered a lower resolution, it is not the only factor that determines the quality of a video. It is important to consider all aspects of video conversion and playback to achieve the best possible viewing experience.
