There is suppose to be a new remastered set with better video but I haven't seen that. Also looking at the extras of the Bebop set it seems that fx did not compress the video at all. The average bitrate for all the extras is way above 6 mb/s and it is in VBR.
I like extras but I could live without them, what I find to be a complete waste is when fx puts in trailers for other shows in their sets. The newer fx sets have much better video quality IMO, they are encoded in VBR and their is alot less pixelation in them.
MAC doesn't usually include extras and the video for most of their own rips are excellent.
How can I tell if something's a newer FX set? Isn't all of the stuff being sold at Import-Anime supposed to be the most recent releases?
I definitely don't care for extras that much, I can tell you. And yeah, my MAC Giant Robo set had EXCELLENT video quality.
Then again, reading the reviews, everyone seems so happy with FX sets. I'm not particularly impressed with the video quality, but the sound and subtitles are great.
