There is a difference. No movie that I've seen has what is called blackout delay. Where it goes to an obvious commercial blackout, and when it pops back up, instead of being on a new scene, it repeats a small bit of the old scene. Most pauses or blackouts (rarely used now adays in movies as extreme as they are used on tv) are for scene changes and are not as obvious. And I haven't seen many movies lately using this technique at all. And I'm sure these blackouts wouldn't be as obvious if you were watching it on tv. But in movie form they stick out. No one said anything about tv being inferrior. So please don't put words in our mouths. we just made the statement "did you notice the blackouts, those were meant for the commercials." We said nothing about made for tv movies being inferior to big screen movies. In fact two of my favorite movies besides LOTR happen to be made for tv specails. We were just saying that the blackouts were so obvious that you got the feeling it wasn't shown on the big screen. Drea PS. There are also a lot of movies that are on tv now from the theater that have blackouts added by the station for commercials that weren't there in the actual film. That is also a technique used, which is why you see less and less blackouts in movies.
