what is it we are supposed to be seeing? The shots look blown out and whoever took the pictures didn't have a steady enough hand. Is that supposed to be macroblocking in the background of the first shot? I have no idea what the problem is supposed to be with the second, because of the unsteady hand.

Oh c'mon you cant add microlocking into troys picture by shaking your camera,the whole picture include the tv must have microblocking then!

But ok what about the low bitrates? its NOT a dark scene, its a day scene with moving pictures, also fault of not having a steady hand? 7Mbps is a way TOO low for a next gen codec, its DVD niveau!

I have noticed the same S*** on departed as well, all the low bitrates scenes looked crap and totaly soft, i can give you the exactly timing if you want to check.

Blame HD-DVD for giving you the lower bitrates since this movie was optimized for the weaker HD-DVD format; lower bandwidth and smaller disc capacity. If it was optimized for Blu-Ray this would not have the macroblocking. WB really has to do seperate encodes to show off the better looking transfer that would always be Blu-Ray.

THIS is exactly the opinion i approve!! i couldnt say it any better! THANK YOU!!

SO now, if Warner Bros. still not encode seperate codings most people will never agree that it could look much better on HD DVD, they wont know it better cause the comparison is missing! but if you count 1 + 1 then you can tell its possible to get a better coding for blu-ray by reason of space, and bitrates (40+ on blu-ray)
