Scalers convert video format information to one of many resolutions (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p). Scalers, although often confused with converters, perform a different function. Upconvertion is a process by which a signal is altered from an inferior format to a superior one. ie, from composite video to component video, or from component video to DVI or HDMI. Scalers can make standard definition television programming look cleaner and more appealing when viewed on a high definition screen. Scalers come packaged in audio-video receivers or as a stand alone unit.

I think the whole section on interlacing is misplaced. For two reasons. Firstly, video scalers commonly perform deinterlacing (not interlacing). Secondly, deinterlacing has it's own article which appears to go into more details.
Also, I think the term Video Processor is a little more common these days. Technically a Video Scaler just wouldn't also deinterlace, but upon doing some googling, there's a lot of confusion of terms out there in the market. Perhaps Video Scaler should just redirect to Video Processor which can cover all the possible features such as deinterlacing, scaling and conversion to different video formats.

[edit] Jack Sparrow
Some of the problems with this page include spelling, eg. "bandanna," grammatical/typographical errors, unsourced statements ("In some versions of the script, it is said that Jack was a cartographer before he became a pirate, and this was how he discovered the location of the Isla de Muerta, one thing that may hint to this is that he wears a red map for a bandanna.") and generally poor style. A good example of some of the problems in the article is a section about the unreleased movie which I edited earlier today.
"In an interview, Johnny stated that there are plans for Rolling Stones rocker, Keith Richards to join the cast. It is rumored to be Captain Jack's father, but that certain role is unknown as of now. Don't get your hopes up, Stones fans, Mr. Richards still has a very important tour he has to finish in the mean time, but don't worry. According to that same interview, they are planning to film Pirates 3 around the tour dates."
I hope this explaination is sufficient enough for the cleanup taskforce to work on it. I'm not really sure what the procedure is, but as the saying goes, be bold.Alex Klotz 03:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Looks OK IMHO (a lot of people are working on it). Close. RJFJR 23:24, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
There are a lot of sections that are just too long. The sections for each movie are essentially entire plot summaries, not just explanations of Jack's role. Either the sections should be trimmed down to focus on the subject matter of the page (Jack) or they should just link to the main movie pages, where those summaries belong. Also, certain character sections are practically transcriptions of entire scenes. (The "rum" section is a particularly egregious example.) Slurms MacKenzie 07:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
