question about 3:2 pull down
Do I need it on both the DVD player AND TV, or just on one of them?
My understanding is that it helps prevent motion artifacts introduced by watching a DVD that has a film transferred to digital format. Isn't this all movies except for the Pixar movies which are transferred directly from computer to DVD? Can anyone explain please?

3:2 pulldown is used to convert 24fps film to 30fps NTSC video and the 3:2 pulldown flags encoded into a DVD are used in conjuction with progressive scan. It is best to have the 3:2 pulldown built into the player because not all DVDs have the 3:2 pulldown flags encoded correctly on the disc and the player will be able to correct for that, whereas the TV probably wont. The only progressive scan player that I know of that didn't have 3:2 pulldown built into it was the Pioneer DV-434.
