It was a double pun. If you have read this newsgroup much,
you will know that Ken has a much higher opinion of temporally-
compressed codecs than I do and he wastes no opportunity
reminding everyone of our difference in worldviews.
Your English is infinitely better than my Dutch. :-))
In my defense, I was attempting to observe that it is not possible
to eliminate ALL artifacts of heavy, lossy compression, no matter
how much computing power you throw at it. (Hence the term:
"lossy"). In some very "busy" scenes in a movie, the compression
can't keep up even up to the max limit of the format. That is just the
way they had to design it for compatibility with all DVD players, etc.
OTOH, I am surprised that ANY ripping software is so shoddy that
it can't recover at least as much of the image as any common DVD
player does on the fly. That seems inexcusable.
