Sigh.

They're not 4K. They're from 4K *masters*.

They will play on *any* BD player.

They are "Mastered in 4k".

Many DVDs were labeled as "Mastered in HD"...

Confusing to some, not really misleading.

I can't tell you how many people thought they had "HD DVD" players that were just upconverting DVD players with HDMI output.

That's foolish. Mastered in 4K makes no sense. Why call it 4K if it's not actually 4K?

The manufacturers purposely contributed to that confusion to sell (in a lot of cases, crappy) upscaling players. "Convert all of your DVDs to near HD!"

Very similar theme happening again...

LOL! I'm just messing with you, peter. I know how this stuff works. I'm playing dumb because of the Ghostbusters thread. Some of the comments about the new release are just ridiculous.

L'armée, The Soloist (Kodak Vision2 -> 4K).
Dude, I’m scrapping the 4K mastering barrel now. Running out of options soon...probably only a couple more if I think hard about it.

I would nominate Inception to the list but I really don’t know for 100% certainty if the HD master originated from a 4K file source (like for the DCP) or some lower rez file source. The post production was extremely complex.

P.S.
Just to be clear, I wasn’t referring to you. I was referring to several members who refuse to recognize the strengths AND weaknesses in people because of blinded fanboyism.
