Want to buy this imported Japanese concert and everyone is saying "Oh, it was filmed in HD so it will look amazing"
but, I don't want to spend 80+ dollars on a mediocre blu... Anyways, just because it's filmed in HD doesn't mean it will look great, correct?  |
Hey, Blu fan!
A lot of goings-on in your neck of the woods lately, huh, what with the Casey Anthony trial and such? How far are you from the Orlando courthouse?
As for your question, I also assumed every single Blu-ray film (not sure about concerts as I don't really buy 'em) would look awesome no matter what the age, condition of film stock or subject matter was because, after all, this is high definition 1080p...what I have found is that you never know what you're getting when you play that disc (unless it's a given, like a flawless Pixar animated film or something). There may be tons of grain with a mediocre picture quality or it may look pristine and nearly three dimensional; bottom line is, just because it's "high def" or "shot in high def" doesn't mean it's going to look flawless -- there are so many variables like director photography/style preferences, encode quality, mastering quality control...
