TheShowOff Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 and archive footage is upscaled to a degree and looks fine depending on the era (90s footage looks better than 80s footage etc.) Â It would have no difference in quality to a DVD actually. If something was filmed with X lines, it is only going to reproduce X lines no matter the size of plate you are eating off. Mathematically impossible.

Â That's what I meant to say but did a bad job of it. Depending on the quality of the footage, whether it was filmed on filmtape or digitally.

Â The DVD MPEG-2 format compresses the footage in its own sweet way, which does noticeably reduce the quality of the footage. BLuRay's compression is a lot higher quality, so from the same original format, the Bluray will end up looking a bit better. Â If the original footage was of a high quality, such as film stock or good broadcast tape formats, then the quality of the footage might actually look considerably better!

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted October 3, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 I wonder if the corner wrestlers are who they consider the big four of WWE. Those are the four who kicked off their respective eras. Bruno, Hogan, Austin, Cena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted October 3, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 That's a brilliant looking cover, definately one for the pre-order list. By the looks of it, they're distributing it evenly across the 50 years too which is a nice surprise. There was a time period where I felt the WWE would try to shunt off the first 40 years into the first hour and spend the other two heralding how incredible the current crop is.

King Pitcos Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Surely, if those "revolutionary force in..." intros from the bad times weren't a load of shite, this should be called 70 Years Of Sports Entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted October 3, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 I suppose what they're saying is that it's the history of the WWF (E) and not Capitol Wrestling. It's all subjective I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno, Hogan, Austin, Cena.  Could well be. Factor in that you have Vince Sr & Jr in the centre at the top and bottom.  And if I hear one fanboy comment ever about Punk being held back/buried ever again- he's made the cover of this alongside the biggest names in the industry, and Junk Yard Dog  According to WrestlingDVDNews.com, WWE issued a second survey to fans today looking for feedback on the following potential future releases: * Best of Shotgun Saturday Night  * Best of Velocity  * Best of WWE Saturday Morning Slam  * Thanksgiving Moments  * Best of Bra and Panties  * Top 25 Superstar Entrances  * The Christmas Collection (All of WWE's best Christmas-themed moments)  * Music of WWE (The best entrance songs)  * Best of the Slammys  * Best of Tribute to the Troops  * Brothers of Destruction  * Top Divas  * Santino Comedy Hour Read more at http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/wwe/WWE_Co...sffrB4LqbXff.99  This has to be a joke, surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When films get put on Blu Ray, a lot of work goes into transferring the original footage from (likely) a very large 35mm print. Old matches of Powers of Pain don't have that luxury - they were taped for television, not to be projected on large cinema screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but Loki's point is that the footage from the master tapes were still compressed on DVD in a way it wouldn't have to be on Blu Ray. They still wouldn't be anything resembling HD quality, but they could look better. In execution, I'm not sure if he'd be right -- I'm not sure how WWE's releases are authored, or what state the tapes from thirty years ago are in. But theoretically, the master tapes will look better than the DVD format allows. I think the real-world difference would be negligible. Archive WWE releases on Blu-ray are a rip-off aimed at people like Dillkid who thought all the WrestleManias were shot on 35mm film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
