I agree with that part of it- I also think they did a pretty good compression job considering the source material. But I understand that compression is an issue with some dvds, and then there's the issue of the Gout's DD audio (vs. the LDs PCM sdtk ).
For me, the Gout is superior to the LDs because of the simple fact that I do not own (nor can I afford) an X0 or X9 player.

I believe compression issues only occur when a pisspoor compression job is done. Lots of dvds have blockyness in fast moving scenes. That just fucking sucks especially when watching movies on a big screen or beamer. When I compress home movies I use a 10 pass CCE encode with a maximum bitrate. No blockyness whatsoever. If the studios did proper encode jobs there wouldn't be a problem. But lots of retail dvds show artifacts because the studios are lazy.
