IMHO, Gary Tooze does a remarkable job; he provides a major service to the film collecting community with his comparisons. As far as I can tell he has no obvious agenda other than keeping the industry honest and DVD purchasers from getting screwed double-dipping on mediocre transfers. I can't speak for others, but he has saved me a lot of money, and *ahem* persuaded me to spend quite a lot as well, but the latter without regret.

Like AA, DVDBeaver is one of the few sites that I find worthy of making a small donation to keep afloat, not that I'm suggesting others do likewise. Gary's up to date screen-shot comparisons may matter to some more than others and donations to any enterprise should be a personal matter. I'm just amazed that out of his passion for film Gary has taken on what must be a Herculean task for everyone's benefit, because when you think about covering all regions and various formats it has to be a major expense.

Great idea! As a matter of fact, why not be the first? What a great gesture it would be for someone with a critical eye to invest in a copy or copies (if you're going to compare both standard and HD formats) and write up your own comparisons to help the rest of us make up our minds! Would'ja? I look forward to it!

Just teasin', Robert. ;0)
