Are old films released on Blu Ray - ie those not shot with a high defintion camera - worth getting? Somebody has said you may as well stick to DVDs for these ones.
Juts bought a player so would be grateful for the advice.
If you have an upscaling DVD player, it would probably do just the same job - shelling out more cash for the same movies on Blu-Ray is not something i would do.
Personally, i'd stick with DVDs for "older" movies and Blu-Ray for newer titles
You can your very last penny that eventually these films will be broadcast on television in hd format. If you already have the dvds it is pointless buying them again.
Old films were shot in HD, I know that sounds crazy but they are shot on film and not video tape like most TV is. Obviously depending on the quality of the film used it will be an accurate representation of what was at the end of the camera lens.
For example I rented The Seventh Seal on Blue Ray, filmed in 1957, looked amazing.
