So since the HD caps are all flawed in some way, I guess it would be worthwhile to pick up the old SE DVDs and/or LDs for an alternative to the BDs? I can get the old DVDs for pretty cheap.
Nah. With a few settings changes in VLC, you can have them playing in 24 FPS looking their best. They’re definitely better than the DVDs/LDs, as well as the BDs, IMO. The problems we’ve been talking about here are more just things we want to fix so there won’t be any need for any settings changes + so they’ll be Blu-ray compatible.
They’re still the best options out there for most of the films.
