movie mode and film mode?

what are these 2 selections on my dvd player?

@johnhamler1 Hi! What is the brand and model number of the player? Have you read the documentation?

hi, my srandalone player is a roadstar prgessive bought in europe. a cheap one ,...in the menu section, i have film mode, videmode, automatic, does it have something to do with the cadence of 2:2, 3.2 ?

Again, have you read the documentation?

yes i did, they dont explain anything...just i can select , but i dont see any difference. like my new philips divx player, they say there is a qpel, but dont explain. i had to look on line to know what it is. but for the video-film thing, i have no idea.

It would seem that "film mode" is another term for progressive scan... (And I'd guess that your documentation indicates that somewhere ;>})

seek that page for the term "film mode"
