DCDi vs. HDMI

Hi all!

I am not sure if this is the correct thread to post video picture quality.

I would like to know if any of you ever experience the quality of DCDi by Faroudja vs. HDMI? I am thinking of buying a universal player but not sure which video format to purchase. I would be connecting the universal player directly into my TV. My DLP projection TV has HDMI connection on the back.

I just like to know if there really is a difference in DVD video quality between the DCDi and HDMI connection.

Thanks for any advice!!

Faroudja DCDi is de-interlacing technology. HDMI is type of connection between display and TV. DCDi and HDMI almost always go together.

Perhaps more interesting comparison would be DCDi vs Anchor Bay VRS technology. DCDi was highly touted in 90's and early 2000. The highest rated de-interlacing technology today is Anchor Bay.

I was looking at these 2 universal players:


- Pioneer Elite DV-79AVi

- Sony DVP-NS9100ES

Anyone ever own any of these two universal plays?

Mantaraydesign, if you are concerned about DVD picture quality as indicated by the original post, you are probably better off getting one of the Oppo's, which is cheaper and probably better in terms of picture quality. Bob, let me dodge the question by changing my earlier statement to "one of the" highest rated de-interlacing technology today is Anchor Bay.
