Blurays are always 1080p because if they arent they dont fit in th Bluray standard and the nname Bluray cant be used anymore. I never saw a Bluray without 1080p.

Bluray has to be 1080p if not then there would be atleast 1000 people i n the USA try to earn some money and sue Sony and all the other Bluray Companys because they were betrayed. bluray is always 1080p if not its not an original bluray.


Ever seen your favourite band's rock show from the 90's available in BluRay? Well, many of those vids were captured with cameras that simply couldn't record resolutions of 1080P. So the old images are then upscaled to 1080P, even though they're not 1080P native. That's what I mean. IMO it might be called 1080P,but it sure as hell doesn't look like BBC Earth does, not even close...

 

I know what you mean but I have to disappoint you. Old movie roles have an even higher native resolution then 1080p. it has various reasons why they dont look as good as new movies, for example the lenses and cameratechnology has to be there to capture all details. Super 8 cameras from the 80s and 90s have higher resolution then a new Hidef camcorder: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/how_to/4258801.htm

You can scan those pictures even with quad HD or more.

The quality differences have different reasons.

 

Here a link to show you that the old movie roles can do 1080p with ease: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/how_to/4258801.html


Despite your confidence and your link I still don't buy it at all. I need a quote from someone respectable saying that Back to the Future was shot at higher res than Avatar before I believe you.

No ways man.


Ok I did some research.

You seem to be correct technically. A 35mm shot can most certainly produce enough pixels to display 1080P, and can even go way beyond that. The problem is that the pixel quality is VERY low usually, which results in crappy looking pictures.

So the point I made that you quoted me on was wrong.

I could argue my own case further,but I'll leave it there.


Sorry I read it to late. But you have right I see it the same way like you. Its fact the old movies dont look as good as the newer. Its just the statement wasnt perfectly right.
