I don’t know if OP can answer this, but maybe someone else can.
Is there any difference between the 2003 and 2008 DVD transfers? One site tells me the latter is a remaster while another tells me they’re both using the same transfer.
I own the 2008 (PAL) DVD and it appears to suffer from compression artefacts as a result of Paramount needing to make room for the extras that they decided to include on the same disc as the film for the 2008 release. It’s particularly noticeable during the bar fight scene in Nepal.
I noticed that too. Indy’s face reveal at the start of the film, the same screencap that was posted earlier in this thread, looked like it was full of compression artifacts on my SE PAL DVD.
I compared it side-by-side with the 2006 SW DVDs, and it was night-and-day.
Says a lot, doesn’t it? Considering all of the flack they received.

Exactly. They are the same master, but the 2008 DVD is more compressed.
Out of curiosity, do you know if the NTSC ROTLA 2003 DVD offers any advantages over the PAL equivalent?
