Friends on Blu-ray?

[thekobrakais]

just because it was broadcast in 4:3 doesn't necessarily mean it was shot on academy film, which is a 4:3 ratio.

it is still possible that they shot it on widescreen film stock, but the camera operator frames for 4:3, which means you won't gain much by seeing it in 16:9. the extra image could contain camera crew, gear, etc..

whether movies or tv shows are shot on film vs. high definition has little to do with how the blu-ray will look.

film resolution is extremely high and can hold up better than most hd material out there.
