Pictured on this page is one of the tests that shows how good the DVD player is at detecting 3:2 source material. In other words, the video processor has to be able to dectect whether the source material is film based (24 frames per second) or video based (30 frames a second) and display the source material correctly on the screen, so as to avoid artifacts. In the case of the race car and grandstand shown in this photo, if the video processor is poor the grandstand would display a moire pattern on the seats.
However, if the DVD Player has good video processing, the Moire Pattern will not be visible or only visible during the first five frames of the cut.
As shown in this photo, the moire pattern is definitely present. This indicates below average performance of the BDP-95FD with regards to accurate processing of film or video-based content containing detailed backgrounds and fast moving foreground objects when playing standard DVDs.
For an example of how this image should look, check out an example of this same test as performed by the OPPO DV-983H Upscaling DVD Player used for comparison.
