Actually, most of the cost of aircraft-certified *anything* is in the form of "prepaid liability". Whether its commercial or private, the lawyers will go after every manufacturer of every component in an aircraft in search of deep pockets in the aftermath of an accident.
My old Sony Super Beta Hi-Fi and it's superior encoding technology is not only impervious to macrovision, it strips it out before recording to tape and will allow clean second generation transfer to VHS.
Everything ILM does is top notch. Everthing associated with Lucas is the best that money and talent can produce. Yet TPM was the worst POS I have had the misfortune of sitting through. "Visual stunning does not a good movie make" I feel robbed that good money was paid to see nothing more than a merchandising vehicle and launching point for more of the same! Whatever GL had that brought us SW in '77 seems to have evaporated. I applaude the Academy for refusing to honor Shite!
