Post production in 2003, especially on Fox was aimed at the 480p broadcast (remember they were still "enhanced widescreen" at the time) first and foremost.

It's a huge upgrade over the DVD, you just have to look beyond the superficial. A/Bing them: compression artifacts- gone, blurryness-gone, color depth, noticeably higher, blacks-noticeably deeper. The whole thing is just tighter. The FX shots were professionally upconverted as well, so they look better than any on the fly scaler is going to manage.

Serenity on HD DVD was gorgeous. On Blu it should be even better.

Does that mean it's not just going to be a direct transfer? Did it have lossless for HD DVD?
