I watched "Taxi" last night and was very disappointed to see that the mastering quality for this title shows that high quality comression and mastering are still not something we can take for granted, even from a studio with a good track record in this area.
Taxi is riddled with compression artifacts, EE and haloing, and an overfiltered image lacking in any fine detail.
It's obvious from the second the titles hit the screen until the last credit (which are extremely fuzzy) rolls off the screen at the end.
I really had hoped, with some of the spectacular transfers that Fox has delivered recently, that I could safely preorder a Fox DVD and not have to worry about how it would look on a big screen. I guess not.
Equipment:
Sony Qualia 004 5'x12' screen
HTPC Theatertek 2
