No, you're all wrong. Dead wrong.
They do scene-for-scene recreations of old movies with amazing CGI wizardry. When you're watching A Christmas Carol in HD, the part where Alistair Sim stands on his head is actually a multi-billion texel model, incorporating a complex series of algorithmic ragdoll equations, coupled with real-time DX10 physics, giving the impression that Mr Scrooge is close to losing his balance. |

No, you're all wrong. Dead wrong. No but essentially a vast majority of motion pictures are shot on 35mm film which as others have said is significantly higher resolution (or capable of capturing more detail as it isn't digital so there isn't a direct pixel rating). For quite some time now movies are shot on film, the film is processed, and then it put through a process called telecine which captures the movie on video so that it can be edited in non-linear editing software. Now film scans are much more prevalent because of the much higher resolution that can be achieved. The two types of film scans are 2K which is 2048×1536 pixels and 4K is 4096×3072 pixels. After that process the film is then color corrected before going to the editor. Once the film is cut it is then printed back to film for distribution unless it is going to theaters equipped with digital projectors. (In that case the film would be on a HDD or other very high capacity media.) When they are scheduled to hit the consumer market on DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray the films are handed off to their respective studio to have any optimizations necessary made like color adjustments or overall remastering. Once all is said and done they are pressed and you can have movies like Caddyshack which was shot in 1980 in HD glory. ![]() |

How do they manage to get a 5.1 or 6.1 surround audio out of the old movies then Basically each studio and sound supervisor have different preferences in regards to aesthetics but they are all essentially taking those elements and creating a discrete multichannel mix. |

For the longest time I totally thought that was how they did it. [rofl] |
