I have 6 dvd players including 3 upscaleing ones-and belive me it looks just as shitty at 1080I as 480P or 720P-conclusion? Highly compressed mpeg2 video is full of artifacts, macroblocking-just looks crappy, I made a dvd from fansubs of Strawberry Marshmallow and it looks very good. I understand that the R1's of Slayers weren't that good looking to begin with-but jeez! I have a 4 disc set of Slayers Next by Anime Studio (another variation of MAC), all dvd9's-it looks just like the r1's from which it was ripped-so don't tell me they can't do it-they just don't want to. Like I said I'll just rent em' from Netflix or where ever and rip em' myself.
I love anime-but I still have a life-but not by choice......?
