Blu Ray Dvd Players Brian36

Post by brian36 »

My question is
When I buy a Blu-Ray PAL version DVD player will that have any serious affect on DVD's that have been bootlegged.
I mean any negative problems with the Audio or Video. Maybe the picture will be the same. Anyone really know for sure?

it will look awfull on a HDTV, even retail dvds look shitty on a HDTV hehe.

but the player itself wont make it look bad, its the tv that will. Unless you use a bluray on a regular tv, wich is useless hehe

Some day, when the blu-ray cam corders become less expensive, more bootlegs will appear on that HD format and that will be worth to watch. right now you can get a HD source of one of dream theaters bootlegs and it looks amazing. and its only as dvd.

the dude says that someday he will seed the bluray verson when it becomes more popular and most users gets a blu ray burner

Today, when bootlegs are recorded in High Definition, the taper usually converts the video file down to standard DVD format. This is for ease of use because everybody is able to play standard DVDs.
But the one taper I know who records in High-Definition (Dylan), keeps all the High Definiton files backed up so that when Blu-Ray or HD-DVD become as popular as Standard DVD, he will be able to release High Definiton content that people can actually use!

Are they? Full HD cams are pretty expensive.

When you use regular dvd in blu-ray player, it upscales the picture up to 1080i. Naturally it isn't native HDV but it's better then Standard Definition (SD). The better videochip you have in you player the better image on your lcd/plasma.

Pressed dvd's look much better on these lcd/plasma tv's because the use of progressive video, either the tv converts it or the player. Ofcourse bigger the screen bigger the flaws on the picture. But my 32" lcd looks great watching from 2meters away (6-7 feets).
