Ok, so let me make my question more specific. How much more would it have cost to do a proper job encoding this film on to DVD? Is it a cost issue or just sloppy work?
I just watched the film After Life last night - good film but terrible transfer. So here is my question... Does it really cost significantly more $$$ to create a decent DVD transfer? I am not talking about restoring elements or digitally fixing scratches in the film itself as I can understand...
