Woo! Almost finished downloading the AVCHD.

So I downloaded the nuked one, and is it just that that transfer had something weird going on, or does the 2.0 in general have a very DVNR look to it?

A lot of the details looked very waxy, like there had been a "look like a painting" filter applied to it. I thought maybe it was just some sort of upscaling done on GOUT footage or something like that, but it didn't look like it was GOUT sourced (and wasn't even footage that would have needed to be de-CGIed).

I wonder if you're seeing a side effect of the black crush that the Blu-ray source suffers from.
