355f: Im delighted all your blue rays are better than ds dvds but please look at the following
355F, I don't really need someone else to offer me my opinion. ie. what that forum states is irrevelant.
What I would say is that some Blu-rays are not well encoded (see my earlier post) and are no better than an upscaled SD DVD. However, the same upscaled DVD has the same issues as the Blu-ray. Indeed, upscaled SD DVDs look more like a copy than the original disc.
I have SD DVDs and Blu-rays of 300, Last Samurai, Casino Royale, The Departed and many others. Every Blu-ray has better image quality than the SD DVD, but that doesn't mean that I'm impressed with the Blu-ray version of the DVD - like I say above, Ocean's Thirteen is fairly poor in Blu-ray (but the same issues, camera panning, pixelisation etc, apply to the SD DVD, but are just less obvious).
