It's in the math. 360 x 3 is 1080, whereas you have to multiply 480 by 2.25 meaning some pixels are being repeated.

So why was 480p chosen for stuff like DVD over 360p?

Very stupid topic.

360p does not look better than 480p. And 480i on DVD was what many TVs were doing. We were on standard definition televisions when DVDs were created. Broadcasting was 480i at the time in the US, for example.

I'm pretty sure the only way to get 480p was on a computer monitor.

By the time 480p TVs started getting made 720p started becoming available at the same time at no real price difference. Most DVDs rendered in 480i

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Yeah, that was a slip, as you can see I said 480i later in that very post.

Because DVD was made to match the standard format, not to be upscaled to a higher resolution. Your real question should be why HD is 720p and 1080p and not 960p and 1440p.

What is interpolation and how does it work?
