I have no time to translate what he said (I´ve got it in spanish) but basically he says the same, digital is the best, that after 2 or 3 shows the film gets scratched, etc. but this guy goes beyond...He says all the people who bought the Episode 1 dvd probably heard and see this film better in his house than in a theatre cause dvd is a digital format.
I have no words.....only Rick, kiss my a##.
here is the address to the spanish translation

Muchos gracias, Miguel,
For your link to the interesting MundoDVD website!
I note the responses there favor a return to films shot and projected in 70mm, rather than digital, similar to the majority Film-tech response, even though the Spanish website is for DVD fans.
Going up one level, there is a wide range of Cinema topics there.

incredible. how can this be accepted ? the PHANTOM MENACE dvd looks baaaaaddddddd, plagued with artefacts, EE galore, unatural look and a dolby digital that is cooked down severely compared to the Japanse thunderous beautiful AC3 soundtrack!!! ( but since it would blow off the little systems of Joe6packs, the mix was toned down 7-10dB on the dvd ! all this has been proven ).we want 70mm back or work digital with KODAK and JVC, who at least try to digitally emulate the best that the argentic can produce.
