Are you talking about the rules companies are forced to implement due to DVD certification?
If companies want DVD Certification they must abide by the rules of the DVD police. In upscaling DVD's w/o HDCP compliant outputs, read non-HDMI 360s, the DVD cops limit Microsoft and other companies to 576p. In turn the TV would upscale to 720p or 1080p. If a player had a HDCP compliant output, read HDMI of the PS3 and newer 360s with HDMI, the DVD cops allow a 720p scaling.
The scaling may well have looked bad as people expected 720p DVD scaling with component cables and the DVD police said NO.
In this case the 360 'weirdness' is due to the weirdness of the DVD authorities. |
