Remastering movies to high definition quality?

Film is the ultimate high definition.. so it will depend on the quality of the originals.

12-22megapixel digital cameras are just getting to quality level of 35mm film.

Jaybo: Yeah it was interesting to read about the CES/Porn conventions and how Sony refused to allow any of their US blueray manufactures to duplicate porn, so they have gone to HD-DVD... the Porn industry is what killed betamax, so Sony is going to mindisc/betmax/SACD it's technology again. They also said that the hardware to create bluerays is stupid money and that little shops will not be able to produce movies cheaply.

I love my HD-DVD player.. it totally blows away my HD cable. My player has its glitches but who cares for under $500 and the output is so amazing.. it's like when I adopted laserdisc when DVD's looked awful.. If you have a 103" you really appreciate the extra resolution and I will go 1080p on my project before the year ends..

The format war will continue but after using HD-DVD I won't buy another standard def DVD... I might even considering doing netflix since they have 150 HD-DVD titles currently for no difference in rental fees.

Netflix and Blockbuster (online) have both BlueRay and HD-DVD but blueray disk's have like 1/10th the resistence to scratches so the rental market on those should be filled with great fun.

If you have a big display (projector) I think it's a must spend $500 but if you have a 50" or less tv and you are sitting more than 8' away it's not as important..

2 of my friends have also made the plunge and are amazed and have no regrets as to the cost associated of the player based on the huge benifits.
