An American Werewolf get Terminated!

Sometimes I am really amazed at the differences in the quality of the transfers of commercial DVD's. Two Movies: An American Werewolf in London and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Werewolf, movie only, is 5.2 gig at 93 Minutes. Terminator 2, 6.7, movie only, 2 hours 16 minutes. I'm using goofy statistics, but in Werewolf, you get 17.9 minutes per gig, and in Terminator you get 20.3 minutes per gig. As such, Terminator is more "compressed" than Werewolf. The Paradox? Terminator looks absolutely great on my HDTV--aweswome sound and picture quality, and Werewolf is substandard: Kind of like an SVCD. I guess it shows that there is a certain art and talent in DVD production that goes beyound how much size is allocated to each minute.

Maybe it's cause the movies were filmed 15+ years apart (I'm guessing). Garbag in garbage out. Werewolf may have been fillmed poorly from the beginning.

So, they may have upped the bits so it would not get any more worse than it was?
