1) I assure you that my TV isn't the problem.

2) It looks like digital artifacting to me. I've seen a lot of poor MPEG compression over the years and this matches it exactly.

Note that DVD...

Hardly. Like I said, I have nearly 600 DVDs and I'm not aware of very many of them that have this sort of compression problem.

Well, I've looked at it over and over again. The image suffers from blatant compression artifacting. I can see it clear as a bell on my DLP. This set is very unforgiving of bad data. Garbage in,...

Agreed. I hate to say it but I believe that there are times when Savant doesn't look at the DVD at all but bases his review on his memory of the film from other viewings.

My collection is about the same size. I currently have just under 600 DVDs, have owned or rented several hundred more and a fair number of them are B&W. I think your comment is fair enough. Perhaps...

I disagree with Savant. I've looked at the disc now on four unique platforms and I see the over-compression on all of them. The transfer is deeply flawed IMO. Even discounting the compression...

I pointed out the area to the right because it showed the most pronounced example of the effect. I see it all around her like a halo too.

I'm seeing it very clearly but I do have a 46 inch TV so that may be why I notice it so much. I think it boils down to bad MPEG compression which is a shame since the film is so beautifully restored....

The banding is a little hard to spot on still images but it jumps right out when the picture is in motion. Here are some caps that should give you an idea of what's wrong.
