To be honest with you I dont understand why companies apply DNR. I think it is partly down to the fact that people assume that HD should look smooth and 3D like with no grain yet in reality a film made 20 years ago will never look like that, it can only look as good as the source material will let it. So by applying heavy amounts of DNR you please the consumers that are under the assumption that grain is a bad thing but you end up annoying the consumers that understand that grain is a by product of film. At the end of the day, if a product that has been DNR'd to death has high sales figures then the few people who complain get left in the dark as the companies are making their money even if they are affectively putting out a botched up product.
