Does THX Certified DVDs mean good quality video?

So you are saying that THX is just a process, and it doesn’t care if source material (audio&video) is flawed?

That would mute the whole point for THX existence, wouldn’t you say?

All that THX guarantees is a set of quality assurances during the mastering and duplicating process. As with all things THX, it is neither an indicator of ultimate quality, nor is absence of a THX logo an indicator of inferior quality. Plenty of THX DVDs out there that don't look or sound as good as other non-THX DVDs, but that might say more about the source material than anything.

Well it's supposed to, but it doesn't (I.E. it fails).

And yes. Albeit, I think you meant "render moot", not "mute".

What the heck does that mean except that it can be bought and applied to virtually anything. Wether it actually means something is something else entirely.

At this time, I rate it as significant to actual performance as those giant bird decals that appeared on the hoods of late 70/early 80's Trans Ams. Looks cool, impresses some, but doesn't really mean a thing.
