But I will defend one thing:
There was no compression artifacts on it.
I wish this arguement would die. He has been meticulous with regards to balancing compression vs. quality from the word go.
There were artifacts arising from the DV capture to DVD conversion, but the mpeg compression did not cause any artifacts.
V1 problems DID include
pure blue/red blockiness (from the DV Capture): Fixed
overdriven audio: Fixed
blacks too grey (with bad contrast): Fixed
I look forward to getting my grubby hands on these. Even if the screenshots look a bit funny in color and sharpness, actually watching the video will produce a different experience all together.
My favorite edition till now has been Farsight whose screenshots are VERY soft, but give a nice viewing experience.
