But I already explained it. Multiple times. And again right now. THE Q LEVEL WILL NOT TELL YOU HOW GOOD THE PICTURE QUALITY IS. What it does tell you is how the overall compression artifacts compare to compression artifacts in hollywood DVDs. That is to say, the MPEG artifacts will be less than a standard hollywood DVD, but because the input signal is a tad cruddier in the first place, the output may have manifestations of garbage that are a direct result of the input source that are all but non existent on 100% clean film->dvd transfers.

The next person that asks me how the uncompressed video compares to the compressed video is going to get a bag of dogshit mailed to their house instead of the actual discs. The first time, it was a legitmate question. The third time, it was old but I still had the patience to explain it again in a slightly different way. By now, it is beating a horse that is dead and 70% rotted. Please stop forcing me to reword what I've already said a hundred times on this forum for anyone and everyone to read. If you didn't understand it by about the third time I explained it, chalk it up to something you just might never understand and instead use your eyes to judge whether you like it or not.
