I dusted off my Region 2 Frankenstein" (I'm in Ireland) for a viewing and was again taken aback by how brilliant it remains. It was my first time watching it on my PS3 and I noticed that the bit-rate rarely dipped below 8 Mbps; most of the dvds I play on the PS3 rarely go above 5 Mbps, and that includes recent releases. My question, for all you members with more knowledge on these matters than myself (probably 99% of you), is why can't every dvd have a decent bit-rate of 8 and above? If a film made in 1931 can be transferred to dvd with that kind of bit-rate, why can't they all? I'm sure there is a simple reason...
