Doctor M: I have yet to see any fan created DVD set that did not have some level of compression artifacting. This includes both Cowclops versions. V.2 is better than V.1 and that was better than almost every other release out there but even in V.2 there are still compression artifacts. Its impossible to totally get rid of them because your dealing with MPEG-2 video which is compressed and by its nature is bound to have some level of artifacting. Next time you're watching your "TR-47" release discs check out the title cards and the opening crawl and tell me you don't see some compression artifacts there, its not serious but if you look you'll see them. These are the same sort of artifacts that you get when watching digital satellite/cable, small blocks appearing in the picture, usually in dark areas of the screen.

OT_Wan: Welcome to the forums. I wouldn't bring up the DVD-9 vs. DVD-5 debate in this thread if I were you. Its a real sore spot with some. Just a bit of friendly advice.
