sci-fi channel shows like eureka (returning in mid july in usa and august in
uk), stargate sg-1, stargate atlantis, battlestar galactica, dresden files...
all air in sd widescreen at about 360i. mean while skyone picks up these shows and
airs then in 1080i/p
so even though they are both re-encoded to the same resolution and file size,
the quality of the rips from the 1080i/p source come out looking much better.
eureka was a great example of even ws.dsr vs ws.pdtv

last week 17 and 18 aired on the same day but nobody captured 18 so it re-aired
recently and was captured and re-encoded then
mean while today 19 and 20 aired. but they were expecting 2 episodes this week
and captured both

fantastic post!
i've tried to explain this numerous times, but nothing does it as well as two
screenshots such as you've provided. thanks 🙂
well sdtv ntsc 480i and sdtv pal 576i may have the pixels stated above. but the
show is also letterbox 16:9 on sci-fi channel so in comparison with the hd
source its more like only 230,000 (640x360) sdtv ntsc 16:9 crop 480i (which is
why i've just passed it off as 360i in the past) so 720p had 4 times more and
1080i has 4.5 or 9 times more pixels depending on whether its fully interlaced
or telecined like this show is.
