Yes thank you Bates_Motel for that comparison. It's very fustrating for sure but not a deal breaker for me. And knowing Lynch he's a bit contradictory in his releases. Very peculiar about the sound, color timing, chapter stops, etc. but if an accident occurs, he seems to act as if it's the Unified Field at work and moves on.

BTW that Mike Figgis interview is taken directly from the UK Optimum Blu-Ray of "Inland Empire." Not sure if anyone mentioned it.

I remember taking an art class taught by his associate producer who was also an artist. We had spoken about working with David and I mentioned I had all these DVDs from overseas as I couldn't find his movies here at all. So one day, after class he asked to see the DVDs I had of Lynch's movies from Germany, France, etc. Movies like Wild at Heart (Sailor et Lulu), Lost Highway, etc. The producer just shook his head and said at the time David had no control over his films but he wanted to change that. He didn't even realize many of these had been released overseas. Then he said "Can I have these to show David?" And I handed all of them over to him.

Later he gave them all back, thanking me and said the transfers are really crappy. David really wants to work on getting his films back.
