Is "digitally remastered" as good as "Blu Ray" or HD?

by Tshintl Dec 26, 2009 8:13AM PST

When a company takes an older movie and digitally remasters it, will it look as good as a modern movie that was filmed in high definition or one that's on Blu Ray?

It will look better than the DVD if it is remastered in high definition. on the other hand most of the modern Blu-ray releases have a better picture quality of the Blu-ray releases of older movies.

I agree with you about the "quality" of the films...

It comes down to how and how well they remaster them. Film by my definition are ALL hi-def., in fact, beyond hi-def. (think about that).
