I noticed several adverts with stuff happening underwater had seriously
blocky bubble clouds...
I also watched Ice Age II. Several of the "blue wash" backgrounds were
noticably blocky. (By which I mean there were 8x8 blocks of solid colour
instead of a gradient.) For some reason all codecs known to man destroy
the blue channel...
I hadn't realised that this could very by channel. I assumed there was
just a standard that says "Digital TV = MPEG2 at X Mbit/sec". I'll have
to investigate. Hmm, I wonder what a DVD looks like?
By the way... Watching the snooker, I could actually see the pattern of
the felt on the table (and the depth of field of the camera)!
