Iggy, do you lose anything in that conversion? Like resolution?


You do, but normally very little.


I tried this. The loss is not constant. Much of a given movie will be fine.
Then a few minutes of terrible. (Of course always an action or skin scene)
HDs are cheap, I went to full quality.

a Fourier transform: it takes a lot of data to make things with sharp
edges and high contrast look good.
