I'm surprised you guys are bothered by compression artifacts with DVD. I hardly ever notice any. I just enjoy the film. Now on the other hand watching Satellite TV the artifacts are all over the picture in every scene on the SD stations. Some are better than others because of less compression. Even some of the HD channels have a ton of compression and on some days don't look much better than SD or they look like DVD resolution. So I think you can understand where my perspective comes from. I haven't seen DVHS. I never bothered to buy it cause I figured it would eventually be another useless component. Maybe I would be thinking differently if I had experienced DVHS? I'll let you know after I see HD DVD.

Cheers,

Ron
