Technically dismal in digital

I'm a pretty nice guy. I trust my instincts when it comes to putting any printed matter on the internet, especially on message boards for sites I respect. I respect this site. So, let me start with small conspiracy theory. The Blu-Ray movies are doing pretty well. I have never had the money really for any new movies in the wrapper, so I buy movies at Walmart. I have to say Walmart, because they are the only store in my area that offer such a volume of the $5 movies. There are a lot of older "classics" and I usually am happy with what I buy. I play my movies on a PC and normally they play back at good full volume. The movies from those bins also demonstrate good video. Caddyshack did not do well in the video or the audio department. In some parts of the flick the picture was fine and in other areas the video was terrible. Especially in indoor scenes. There's no real question about my software or my personal computer or my A/V or my DirectX(I realize I am getting technical here. But most people know about computer audio and video.) I simply have no problems with most of my movies. Back to the conspiracy theory. Now that traditional DVD's with the dual layer format are being offered at lower prices, what kind of mastering is going on by the studios with the rights to all these titles? True, the movie was not expensive, but it was still money. I have seen other movies that don't give the best viewing experience. I watch movies all the time on my desktop, because I have the nice LCD monitor. Did I say nice? As for my sound and video, 90% of my movies all sound nice. Except for Caddyshack, and I hope to score some more SNL-casted flicks and hope that I have better luck.
