Well the Noir set is like the old Bebop FX set, some people say they can't notice any problems and some people say the video is shit. I was one of the people who thought the video crap, the problem is definately there its just some people don't notice it as much as others. It'll depend on how picky the person is and their setup. Those who say Noir has great video can you compare it to the video of the older Fx sets (like a year old or more) like Bebop, Trigun, Fushigi Yuugi, Outlaw Star etc... if you can.
Personally I don't own the Noir set but just by looking at the screenshots posted here it looks like crap. Can someone that thinks the Noir set has bad video check out the video bitrate of it and see if it is in CBR or VBR and compare it to the video bitrate of the Noir set of someone who thinks the video is good. Tne we can tell if they are 2 different types of Noir Fx sets floating around.
Anyways, lets differentiate between an authoring problem such pixelation in the video, missing subtitles (more a MAC problem) or out of synch audio and a DVD pressing problem like it won't play at certain part or at all or the video and audio is jumpy. A DVD pressing problem can be corrected with a new batch, an authoring problem requires them to completely remaster the set before reprinting.
My Fruits Basket Perfect works perfectly, not one error.
FLCL Perfect had a slight pause during the layer change, thats it.
