Oh, don't get me wrong - I totally agree with the fact that the R1 Taxi Driver disc is hardly reference quality, but the need to make a commentary preservation a DVD9 just based on the visual source material is putting the cart before the horse for me.

As I say - those that want the best AV quality Taxi Driver should chase down the Superbit and buy it. For a commentary and isolated score - I think the (more than adequate) R1 image suffices IMHO.

By all means if someone wants to supply me with the Superbit - go ahead, it's just I could be waiting for it a long time whilst the finished product stagnates. Unfortunately it's happened too often on this board that the best laid projects are easily derailed by the promise of something that never comes.
