I’ve heard both companies have gotten notably better with their UHD encodes, though.
Actually, wait, isn’t Sony the company in charge of doing the encoding/pressing of the discs now at Disney? I thought they’d taken that aspect over a little bit ago.
Yes, when Criterion uses FIM, as they did with Eyes Wide Shut.
Sony now distributes Disney physical media via SDS, yes. But I don’t think that implies Sony is encoding the video or even authoring the discs.
None of the studios manufacture their own discs…
