Does Anyone Here Own A Canadian Copy Of Jirachi Wish Maker?

[Meowstic]

I just bought my copy today and something's bothering me.

The front and back cover seem to have a fair bit of compression artifacts, especially around characters like Pikachu. It seems like a badly converted .JPEG picture.

I was wondering if this was the case for all Canadian DVDs or if it was only mine and if I should get it exchanged.

Thanks!

My copy, which I would have gotten sometime in 2004 or 2005, doesn't seem to have any artifacts. The line work looks a little compressed (most noticeable around Treecko's eye), but not enough that it looks cheap or badly made.

It might help to compare pictures, just to make sure.

Could you upload pictures of your copy? I would, but I don't have access to a scanner or HQ camera.

Apologies for the wait, my usual image uploading site said the file was too big. (This scan might be a little too high res, actually. I recommend viewing it at 50% since at 100% you can see every single coloured dot that makes up the image.)

Hope this helps!

Yours definitely doesn't have the compression artifacts mine has.

But when I looked at my friends, it also had them. Should I exchange them or just keep the one I got?

It really depends on how much the DVD cover means to you, but if you're going to exchange it, see if you can find an older copy. It just might be the newer releases with the compression problem.
