Fellowship of the Ring - HD vs DVD

The DVD transfer is among the best you can find, so this really is comparing the respective creams of the crops. I used WinDVD 6 to capture files from the DVD, and Elecard Mpeg2 player to capture from the HD stream.

And not just the secret ones that everyone has, or even the ones everyone thinks they have -- this Cracked Classic is about a group of people that, in a sane world, would already have multi-colored leather jumpsuits, delightfully mismatched personality traits and a skyscraper shaped like whatever they decide to call themselves.
