• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

How does Itunes Create a 1080P HD Version of some of the older movies made in the early 90's before there was a SD and HD versions available. Is the !080P HD version just more depicitive of what was originally shot on screen at the time. Is here much differance between the HD and SD versions. I am playing back on 61" Screen.

If done 'properly' they create a new digital transfer from the film master.

Good old analogue film has more than enough information to take both an SD and a HD transfer. Many masters need cleaning up, scratch removal, re-grading etc. So the quality of the transfer depends mainly on the money thrown at the transfer process and the age of the master.

This is why quality can vary from one HD source to another
