I'd like to see North American distributors continue the practice with

Sounds like you're looking for downloadable ISO images, ready to burn to
DVD...

Well, no, just something that will work in the media players I have
access to on the Mac. DiVX, f'rinstance. I have a nice LG player
that plays them as well as DVD format.

Which is the only thing that WILL play computer-burned DVD-R's that
aren't already mastered on Apple iDVD.

(And again: So, um...."'Easier' than just buying/Netflixing the damn
disk", then? 9_9 )

Had I been using the XP box, yeah, it woulda have been easier than
Netflix. Everything went smoothly on that machine. And the download
speeds were faster than my torrent client ever sees. I ran into
trouble on the Vista box. So the question is, do I blame the DRM
(Microsoft) or the Operating System (Microsoft)? I'm leaning towards
blaming Microsoft, but you never know. It could after all have been
Microsoft's mistake. We are ofteb all too quick to blame Microsoft
for what is really Microsoft's shoddy coding.

I'm still up in the air over the video quality. Trinity Blood wasn't
an HD broadcast, and so it's not quite as spectacular looking as some
of the HD fansubs I've been getting lately. But the video they offer
is at least as good as fansubs of the same vintage. Things got busy
today, so I didn't get a chance to grab the first volume of the DVD.
(Maybe tommorrow at lunch time.)

I'd be curious to see how it compared to a DVD rip, but not curious
enough to toss another file into my already too large torrent queue.
