> As for HD redos, for movies this isn't an issue: they were all made on 35mm (or 70mm) film Doesn't matter when they remaster it to be way too dark or screw up with colours and tone mapping to give it a "more modern" tint. Some are also re-cut from original aspect ratios (whether 4:3 or CinemaScope) to be equal or closer to 16:9. e.g The Wire on DVD is 4:3 (as originally shot) and has been re-framed to 16:9 on BD. They did a a seriously good job at it but it really changes the impact and/or mood of some key scenes. And that's when it goes well. On the other end of the spectrum I've seen 2.55:1 movies butchered into some lazy [anything-between 1.77 and 2]:1 crop + autopan conversion "remaster". Those are 1080p alright and not upscales but are a totally shoddy cash-grab job.
