Bullets 'n' Babes

The 40-Year-Old Virgin


Top: DVD
Bottom: HD-DVD


The HD screenshots are all from HDMOVIES.co.nz, notice the watermark. I matched them with the DVD. This is again like Tremors; DNR and EE that
ruins what could've been a perfect 10. You can tell the detail is there but it's covered with noise reduction and edge enhancement. Surprising, given
that this is a recent film, but again this transfer was made before HD-DVD was released and studios tended to use DNR and EE more. I'm sure if this
was remastered these two problems could be fixed.
Here's a good guide of HD titles that have EE, DNR and related digital artifacts. Some I don't agree with though like The Deer Hunter.

Thanks! Love that film!

WOW that's some EE.

A film this new shouldn't need remastering :shock:

It's so annoying because this could have easily been a perfect transfer.
