Ask questions to BD authoring and compression insider "2themax"

[WickyWoo]

Can anyone confirm with New Line that they are aware of these two compromised encodes and that they intend to improve things going forward?

Yes they know. Look at Shoot 'em up for the "apology"

New Line has always prided themselves on their outstanding DVDs. If I had to guess, they got a look at Pan's and Hairspray when they came back and said "Not good enough"

You sure about that? When I did QC on the Akira DTS DVD, they sent in a third party to double check the encode next to the master during compression.

That guy wasn't from THX. He was from an independent QC house called 3rdi hired by Pioneer
