Video scalers like the Lumagen models can do perfect 2:2 pullup and remove this judder. All you need is a display device that accepts 48Hz.
Indeed.

Just to prove that I do have some discriminatory ability when it comes to movies, I will pass on this. The first two films were interminably dull and just like Michael Bay films, you only get stung so many times before saying enough is enough!
I must stop you there. Please do not dismiss the third and fourth films, for they are both made by competent directors who actually had a sense of visual imagination. What`s more, neither film was scared anymore of upsetting fans by adding to, and subtracting from elements of the novels. By the third film, they finally accepted what works on the page does not necessarily translate to the screen without some required manipulation and the films became all the better for it. Naturally if you simply can`t abide child wizard shenanigans then continue to steer clear, but I think Azkaban and Goblet are terrific family films.

Another feather in HD-DVD's cap is it's lack of region coding. I already have La Haine from Europe and can play it on my US HD-DVD player and will happily buy a UK disc if it isn't censored compared to the US release.
I saw La Haine in Harrods today too actually. Very nice. In fact Harrods pretty much had every UK HD DVD and Bluray disc on release. First time I had actually been able to fondle the boxes on the shelves.
