Saving it from a small original isn't really going to gain me anything. I just want to make sure I'm not getting an inferior product. I'm just not use to a file being this small for 24 secs of 1080I. But from what others have said it's not that uncommon. This is a graphic open title sequence so it shouldn't be delivered in an overly compressed form in my opinion. I can't see any problems with it but they put a bunch of noise effect on the video so it's really hard to tell. A part of me feels like I've just been handed a VHS tape for my graphic master but with a file I can only go by the file size as an indicator of how compressed it might be.
