you mean like upscaled to HD? how can stuff not SHOT in hd be TRUE hd?
What skeedatl said. Haven't you seen old shows shot on film played on Universal HD? The Equalizer was a good example. It looked mind blowingly good, not oversaturated, although it had a bit much in the grain department, as much old stock not stored in the best of conditions has.

Obviously, on AMCHD, much of the old stuff was shot in 4:3, but that doesn't mean it can't have 720 or 1080 lines of resolution in the 4:3 picture area.

A lot of stuff that's been put on DVD in the last several years has had a 1080i or better transfer from the source, and then they downscale it to 720x480 for the DVD. Additionally, several programming providers have been paying studios to mint new HD masters of old films and television shows.

I've read that a really good 35mm print can be good for 25MP and under ideal conditions 50MP. Even 16mm would be more than suitable for full HD remastering.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21253256 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 23:48:44 EDT Re: [CATV] AMCHD http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21253196 dvd536 :

For a while Cox here had AMCHD in the clear for testing (not in the guide, I saw it using my HDHomerun). Much of the content I saw were HD transfers.

In any case, if your TV is over 37" or so, the HD channel will still look better due to the lighter compression, even with an SD signal. So long as they don't mess up the aspect ratio, anyway.

Omaha was supposed to launch it, but they ran into a problem. I hope it launches soon.

Is it normal for cox to list a channel as comming when they don't even have a contract for the signal?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21232767 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:52:07 EDT
