Please forgive me about asking this question about old films in High Definition. My question is can old films be put into High Definition? If so I guess that that would mean that Blu-Ray will only be putting releases out in High Definition. So what was the point of this format holding up to twenty hours of film if it is not going to use that capability? Why is it now that it is hopefully (I think) starting to get some sort of establishment that we are finding out that the storage capability is really bollocks if it is in High Definition?! I guess I CAN tell a difference in High Definition but it is in no way revolutionary like remastered d.v.d.s are to old d.v.d.s or VHS. What am I or Joe public suppose to think about this who were supporting this format for it's so called storage capablities? I know that I am coming off really nuts in this post and another but I am astounded at how I seem to have been so misinformed...or am I still?
