I work with someone who was trying to play a DVD on her computer. The computer is pretty old and wouldn't play the DVD with the monitor set to 1024x768 / 24 bit color. She didn't want the screen res. smaller, so I lowered the color to 16 bit and the DVD played. The DVD we were looking at was a DVD-R that someone burned and the quality was pretty bad, but she asked me if she viewed it on a better system, would the video look better.
So my question is, does it make a big difference (if any) between watching DVD's in 16 bit as opposed to 24 bit? Isn't the NTSC palette limited enough that 24 bit won't give you any more colors?
