Blu-ray movies to jump start broadcasting hd movies?theroy

[jorg]

oka so i was just thinking from what i know movie station like tnt ect. have to do there own scans of films and broadcast then in hd,(if thats correct) would they just be able to just buy a blu-ray pc drive rip movie then lower bit rate and change to there lower specs and broadcast(with the consent of the movie studios and all ip holders) but would that not make it essier for broad casters to broadcast hd?

or would making there own scan of film essier?

That is not how it works.
Any down convertion/image compression is done at the broadcast point.


Burning/Riping is a No No. That is the point of having BD+, you can't.

The only case of a channel paying for the HD scan of a movie that I know of is Free Enterprise.

They are provided with a master tape for airing, then the channel does their own processing/compression for their broadcast signal.
