You're not having much like with your HD buys are you.

@Eva:
Don't want to sound like an asshole, but are you sure your caps are right?
I'm seeing a lot of fine detail in your "DVD" caps (the kind of detail you can't find in a 720x576 picture).

LOL, you're right. I do have the two the wrong way around.

I confirmed it by demuxing the DVD + replicating a screen grab.

I thought I was on crack for a moment earlier, did not comment becuase of it. The HD is lighter, less contrast and seems the blacks are bit light

but it is slightly better detail wise, not exactly good quality HD mind you

for a film shot on such an epic format film stock, what the hell they did such a shitty transfer onto HD is beyond me.

Maybe the Criterions better than both them
