Examples of film media are motion pictures, made-for-
TV movies, and many prime time programs. Filmed
media is converted by the broadcaster or home video
company to frames per second to match TV or video
standards. This conversion can leave subtle picture
artifacts or conversion errors. Setting the Image Type

picture quality, when viewing a movie from a i device
such as a VCR, standard DVD or antenna.
