Toshiba v2.0 Firmware Update Brings Jaggies To MPEG4/AVC Disc Playback
Toshiba's v2.0 firmware update, which enables 1080p24 output on the company's HD-A30 and HD-A35 HD DVD players, apparently causes jaggies when MPEG4/AVC discs are played in 1080p24. This is the same problem Toshiba had with the HD-XA2 update last September, but this time we're wondering if a fix will be provided. With HD DVD's demise, it may not be worth the time and money to develop and provide a patch for the flawed update-on Toshiba's part anyway. The company is already lost close to $1 billion to the failed HD disc format, so pissing off its remaining customers probably isn't in the company's best interests. A fix from Toshiba might not be completely necessary though, as the HD enthusiasts at the AVS Forum have already came up with a couple of workarounds for the problem.
