You can even see the grain/lines in the wood in Cap 3.

I assume photobucket are compressing the grabs at their end, is there a limit on the size of images you're allowed to use, or perhaps have you got a "compress images" box ticked somewhere?

googling it seems this is a known photobucket issue.despite supposedly being allowed a 1mb filesize they randomly compress your images a few days after upload :mad:

WTF! That's so not on. Image Shack is slow and you don't know how long the photos are going to be stored (to be fair that is the point of it) but they never do this. If you have an account at Image Shack, can you store photos forever? I only use it, without registering, for photos I only need a temporary link for.

There's also Windows Live Photos too (25GB). It's difficult to post links direct to an image (the links tend to change) but you can to an album without problem. If you've got a Hotmail account, you'll already have access to Windows Live and all its services.

It looks like a good picture. It doesn't look much better than the DVD though. Is it? I have the Scandinavian DVD, it also has DTS.

Is it much better than the good old dvd?

Hard to tell from the caps the quality of it, doesn't look totally shapp and detailed, but was it ever :D Cannot see anything obvious and in your face bad like compression problems or edge enhancement etc.. but hey you have the disc :D

The Pre-order deals are really nice to see popping up more and more in offers before they are even out. Even brad could find 2 from that page of deal discs :thumbs:

Fight Club is now a pound cheaper. So maybe "technically" speaking less of a bargain but obviously still a bargain.
