No doubt this is the reason a friend of mine was disappointed with Arrow's transfer and found subsequent satisfaction with BU's BR. He holds on to the former for the packaging and extras and keeps the latter for the PQ.

Too true and another case of BU coming out on top in the PQ stakes.

Another thing Arrow must learn is to put ALL High Def extras on the second disc, which gives the movie much more room to breath in.
As the more High Def stuff you cram on a disc, even dual layer, the more the compression suffers.
I love Arrows packagings and extras, but the quality on the movie itself should ALWAYS be the top priority.
If they get better at the encodings, then they will REALLY leave BU in the dust.  |
Well said and the only extra suitable for inclusion on the film disc should be any potential audio commentary.
