Regarding dirt on the Capote release disc, the information is as follows:
Because of a lower bit rate, which makes certain pieces of dirt and detritus less obvious, an early screener had 25 bits of positive dirt and 30 bits of negative, plus a processing stain at 2:43. This dirt was noted between the first shot following the titles at 1:13 to the final exterior shot at 3;00.
The final production disc, which is missing the processing stain, has 33 positive bits of dirt and 34 negative, within the same one minute forty-seven second period. That's a total of 67 bits of dirt in a short period of time.
Unacceptable for a studio release of what I recall to be a newer title. Capote should not be in need of restoration or repair quite yet.
The message here is that no one at Sony Home Video seems to care about the quality of their final discs, and that someone with an eye for quality should be hired to do QC.
Just a friendly suggestion.

Hopefully Sony will fix this for the blu-ray release.
