That drop out and return with lower quality sounds like your bitrate dropped because of internet quality/traffic. You probably need to re-capture.

It was a TV broadcast, not an internet stream 😉

So no, it’s not bitrate related at all, it’s in the master they were broadcasting. It’s obvious that restoration on the second half of the movie wasn’t finished… it looks more filmic (grain and dirt are visible) , but unfortunately vertical resolution was lower, since it was vertically blurred (while horizontal res was still the full 1920 pixels). I’m not sure why they would even allow an unfinished master to be broadcasted, but I was hoping that the iTunes version (or the Amazon Instant Video version, which is also available in HD, as well as on VUDU at “HDX” quality) uses a “finished” master.
