>>>The post you replied to did indeed suggest that Blu-ray was no great shakes compared to DVD and you said absolutely nothing to indicate that you don't share that position.<<<
I wrote this "My experience has been that while my BDs look better than DVDs, most are only about average by HD standards."
I don't know how you can interpret that as you did.

>>>Why you hold Blu-ray to bizarre standards remains a mystery to me.<<<
So, you think I should hold them to DVD standards instead? BTW, its the same standards I hold HD DVDs too.

>>>f your goal is to have every speck of film grain removed using posproduction techniques so that HD content on blu-ray all looks homogeneous regardless of source material, we're going to have to agree to disagree on that.<<<
That's the second time you have accused me of that. I have no idea where you get that from.
Do you honestly believe that all transfers and compressions for BD are equal and perfect?
