So far I've mostly seen Disney transfers, but they're the best transfers I've seen of any next-gen HD disc, and I have nearly 100 HD-DVD's now and just went neutral. Pirates blew my mind.

No debate, it's the house of mouse.

For audio I would go with Fox, for video, its obviously Disney

I voted disney, but you know, now that I think about it, Fox is damn close if not better. Every movie I have from Fox looks incredible, plus they all have DTS-HD MA. While I don't have the ability to hear it yet, I'm positive they will sound incredible when I do. But, I can hear the PCM from Disney, who's movies also look incredible, and I also own more Disney/Buena Vista then Fox.

Fox is good but laid a couple eggs along the way that lowers their score but Disney pretty consistent.

DTS-HD MA is the same information you should get on PCM or TrueHD if the studio chose to use either of those instead. The real difference in Fox's soundtracks is whoever is mastering the audio or whatever equipment they use. The Encoding method doesn't change the master because they are all lossless.

That still doesn't let me hear the DTS HD MA. My reciever does not decode it so I'm only getting the core DTS while I can hear the PCM on the Disney tracks. Thats all I was saying. Wasn't comparing the 2.

Disney. All the Disney movies I've seen look amazing.

Buena Vista (Walt Disney/Pixar, Touchstone, Miramax, Hollywood Pictures)

Disney. When I picked up Cars and Ratatouille, I was almost to the point where I was so accustomed to watching films in high def that the "WOW" factor was starting to go away. Those two films made me feel as though it was my first time watching a movie in HD.

Fox, Warner, and Sony are about on par with each other, I'd say, with Fox being just a little bit better than the other two.

No but I'm saying that DTS HD MA is not the ultimate be all end all of audio encodings. Fox should also include a PCM or TrueHD option. Limiting to DTS is more harmful IMO than good since not everyone can use it.

Pixar/Disney = Eye Candy!
Fox = Ear Candy!

i would say
1) Disney
2) Fox
3) Sony
4) Warner
5) Lionsgate

and the last 2 are debatable lionsgate has some killer transfers but so does Warner and Warner has more titles so...
but then again Lionsgate does do some killer audio...

Disney by far has the best transfers.
