Hence, an approximation of what it would look like on Blu-ray . . .

The Movie was too long, you build the ship, sail the ship, hits an iceberg, the ship then sinks, its over!

On TV it will be 1080i. No one is broadcasting in 1080p. Only 720p or 1080i.

won't even come close to compare with BD's 1080P output.

I don't think its true. IF TNT is getting a good hi-def master of the movie, there is no reason why it shouldn't look almost as good as a potential Blu-ray version. Remember it's all in the transfer. By the way, even on standard def cable, I think TNT has one of the best pictures consistently. I can only imagine how good some of the TNT HD material must look.

I guess you summed it up in a nutshell. Maybe you should have been entrusted with final editing of the movie.

The only thing that would play into the quality of the picture would be the compression used. That in itself could degrade the quality. Sure they may have got a pristine copy, but the means of transmission and the compression used can really make a difference.

Well I guess for a few more years to come we're gonna be talking about terrestrial transmission bandwidth issues. That's why movies have to be compressed so much in the first place.

Well with DirecTV's announcment about the expansion of their offerings, hopefully along with the additional bandwidth of transmission, they also have the room for better compression technology, or even better, less compression.

The fact that it's broadcast in 1080i isn't what's limiting its quality. It's the compression that must be used to transmit it over cable/satelite that limits its picture quality. I.E. the bit rate.

Titanic is certainly one of the "high performers" that's exempt. Even though I seriously doubt it'll be out anytime soon, it's Fox overseas and they know that they'd just be asking for mass imports

Watching it right now with the "sex scene" in the car, now there getting ready to hit the "berg".

So far it's quite good. Not blu quality, but nice HD.

There are some movies that I despise, and Titanic is one of them.
