Topic: Philip's DNM Technology Coming to HTPCs

[tetablanco]

Just read an article on the Net that says that Philips has recently licensed its Digital Natural Motion (DNM) Technology to third parties.  DNM Technology supposedly powers WinDVD 6 of Intervideo, a PC software company. ]

Any feedback from our HTPC enthusiasts out there?

What is the promised benefits of this new DNM technology?  Just a bit intrigued by the name, suggesting perhaps that what we have been seeing on the PC all along is "unnatural."

I hope they cross-license it to other LCD manufacturers...

I just saw a Philips DNM demo clip at the mall.  Quite impressive.  It's the first time I've ever seen a judder-free slow pan on a flat panel TV. 

I asked the rep about DNM's "judder-free motion".  The poor fellow didn't have a clue ...  he didn't even know what "judder" means.  I wouldn't have minded if not for the fact that judder was the topic being discussed and demoed on the demo video clip playing on his demo Philips unit. 

"Hindi mo yata pinapanood yung video mo?", I asked with a smile.  "Hindi sir, e."  he replied politely, but without the slightest trace of embarrassment.

This is dated. However, I would like to ask if someone has come across an implementation like this via software.

Corel's WinDVD (formerly InterVideo WinDVD) started to implement DNM (Trimention DNM) feature since WinDVD 6.
