Hair of the rat

If I ever met Pixar's Rick Sayre, I would shake him warmly by the hand and say "Thank you, sir, for a job well done." The guy is possibly the best professional encoder in the business - he struck gold with the PAL DVD of The Incredibles, and he's done so again with Ratatouille. Even the absolute best HD releases generally have mild compression artefacts if you pause and zoom in close enough to inspect them in minute detail. Not so with Ratatouille. The image is, to my eyes, completely flawless. It just doesn't get better than this.
