Sony DVPNS725P Progressive-Scan DVD/CD Player
does a terrible job with TV show DVDs
When I am playing non-film content, i.e. TV Shows or hybrid content (interlaced + film), the video on the screen will flicker between most quick scene changes. I noticed it alot on \\"The Shield - Seasons 1 and 2\\" and on DVDs burned from Tivo content.    I know its not a bad player because I have 2 of these each bought at different times and they both have this exact same problem.  I have a feeling that it has a hard time with interlaced content, since all hollywood movies (film, 24fps) plays just perfect.    I could not find any settings on the player to help alleviate the problem.  I am using the S-Video output.  I have since switched to the new Philips 642 and this DVD player plays everything great, even divx discs.    NOTE: The flicker I mentioned was caused by an incorrect setting. If you set the film mode correctly then it plays fine.  So in retroscpect I would give this player a 4 star rating.
