According to all the true DVD afficianados I have met, there are no DVD's 
besides the the Matrix. 

They argue that this disk is the only motion pictuer that has yet been 
mastered with the due diligence needed to offset the fact that, in the 
2hr DVD format, 80% of your original (video resolution) image information 
is discarded. If the hype is accurate, hundreds of hours of super 
computer time were used to squeeze every last pixel possible onto the 
Matrix DVD. 

I can personally add that  the Matrix is the only DVD I have yet seen 
that doesn't suffer horribly from the compression artifacts of the 
Degraded Video Digitization format. Of course, that's just my subjective 
view from two decades of professional experience evaluating video quality 
in state of the art production facilities, so take it for what it's worth.
