How the list works:
1) Please use the below definition of "reference" when evaluating DVDs for this list.
2) We need for you to critique the DVDs without regard to content (it's OK if the movie stinks, we're looking at PQ).
3) DVDs require 2 nominations to be added to the list and must receive three negative votes in order to be removed.
4) There is no need to read the entire thread to offer your opinion but if you want to do so, please feel free to read it.
5) We are looking for DVDs that would be a 9 or 10 on a 10 point scale; 10 being the best.

Definition of Reference DVD:
"Reference DVD" for this list - a DVD should look like the best possible print, pristine or restored, reproduction of the movie as presented in theaters. The DVD transfer should have low noise, very low edge enhancement, deep blacks and very few motion or compression related artifacts. The presence of these is allowed but they are NOT to be distracting.
If there is more than one source for a digital theater presentation, HD or film, a title may be considered for the list if it reproduces any in a true sense without significant transfer faults.

Ten Point Scale:
10) Reference - Ultimate in DVD experience. No noticeable flaws
9) Excellent - reference quality other than one minor flaw which is not distracting. Has superb quality throughout.
8) Very Good - a very remarkable DVD but has two or three minor flaws (not distracting).
7) Good - has several outstanding points but may have several minor flaws (none distracting)
6) Fine/ Above average - DVD that has a couple of notable qualities
5) Average - The minimum one would expect from a DVD in reasonable PQ and Audio but nothing special. Fully watchable and allows the viewer to enjoy the contents on the DVD.

Everything below this grade point would allow for distracting flaws which pull you out of the film and/or be VHS quality and below.
4) Below Average - Above VHS quality but has distracting flaws
3) Poor Plus - VHS quality
2) Poor - Below normal VHS quality
1) Poor Minus - no redeeming qualities whatsoever other than content. Bad DVD all around

Dan moved Braveheart back to the "Reference" list. He had this to say:


I apologize folks! I miscounted the comments for Braveheart when I missed a retraction. As a result this DVD must be added back to the list. There are currently only TWO negatives for this title and both mention "white specks". If anyone knows what this is, or its cause, please post in the ongoing "Real Reference" thread so we can discuss it. The guidelines for the list allows us to disregard negatives based on faults that were present in the original. I have found nothing that tells of these white specks and it has been speculated that they were present at the theater. Until we have some sort of definitive answer for this, the two negatives will stand.

Thanks,
Dan

I (Larry) can say that the white specks are most likely "cinch marks", which come from improperly rewinding the film. See the Real Reference (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?postid=4045947#post4045947) thread for more details.
