In that same vein, Daniel needs to get an LD player, since the video and audio is uncompressed and undigitized. The LD's are the last, best copy of the original films, bar none. Digitally converting the video to MPEG creates quite a few changes on its own (color, artifacts, brightness, etc.) and therefore should be unacceptable to DanielB even without any changes.
....that is, if he wants to be consistent about this whole thing. Of course, if he chooses to be hypocritical about this as well....
