Page 1 of R1 American Beauty, R1 Fear & Loathing, New Spartacus DVD 2 disc set.

I have the R1 American Beauty DVD and have noticed some "blocking" in certain scenes. The scene when Jane is being filmed for the first time walking to her house is one that springs to mind. Also the general quality seems to be a bit poor (motion blurring), I`ve also noticed this with the R1 Se7en 2 disc set. Anyone else notice this?

Also, the extras in R1 Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas will not play properly on an Alba103. Plays fine on my SD100e.

Lastly, anyone getting the new Spartacus Criterion Collection (2 disc)?

Found this don`t in know if it`s any help though.
Next if you are playing a NTSC DVD then you should have the `Quasi-PAL` setting as `ON` so that the Samsung displays the picture in the same format as on the DVD and does not omit frames (which causes jerkiness) or insert extra lines (which causes `jaggies`) to convert it to full UK PAL50 format.

However not all TV`s work properly with the PAL60 signal when Quasi-PAL is ON so you may have to turn it off. All TV`s which can show NTSC should be fine with PAL60.

No problems for me - both play fine
