Thanks substance.
I thought better of my post...that I should use the search function and deleted it. But that was very helpful and much appreciated.

ertoili wrote: Substance's explanation is true wisdom but he forgot conclusion....the conclusion is that DVD mpeg2 is not only limited...it is "useless" due to pixelation when you want to resolve the 4K filmed Transformers 5 (for example) in one averaged 6Mbps mpeg2 disc . This might be very true (though perhaps just highly dependant on the compression you choose to use?) but I'm quite lost as to why anyone would buy anything on DVD now? Even if you choose to pirate it via torrents you're going to get a noticeably better PQ? Never mind a decent BD should easily outdo that option?

But I think digitally compressed formats are fundamentally different to analogue ones. So saying DVD is better than BD (or UHDBD/4K) is like saying CED or VHS is better than LD......

You can watch BRs on CRT. I’ve done it 1000 times. It looks like LD with more color, or DVD with no macroblocking. Furthermore, there is only one Transformers movie and it came out in 1986. Both LD editions are decent but not great. I don’t know how this terrible 2017 movie has anything to do with LD so please follow your own warnings.

But that's the fault of the choice made to apply dnr in the mastering process; not of any format itself. There are bd releases with grain nicely preserved. It wasn't so commonly done in the days of LD but SW definitive box is one that's bad for it.

He’s a deranged troll who has started this same dumb fight so many times...over and over.
