The Emperor's New Groove / Kronk's New Groove (2000) - 6/11/13

[DJ Mike]

The aliasing in the picture is very minor if at all noticeable - the banding and compression problems, however, are much more troublesome. Not sure what kind of compression algorithm this new batch of titles is being fed through, but ENG, L&S and Atlantis all suffer the same issues - strange macroblocking which crops up in many shots, in certain colours/parts of the picture. For an example, watch the shot of Pacha walking along the bridge near the start of ENG, just before he meets the old man who was thrown out the window. Pacha's green poncho is riddled with noisey macroblocking. Not really sure why this came about, but it's there in all 3 films' transfers. Plus light amounts of edge enhancement seem to have been added to all as well (especially noticeable in ENG as it bleeds in from the black pillarboxes).
