Jurassic Park Bluray

[Starbreaker]

So... this thread inspired me to go get Jurassic Park 3D. It looks great. They've really given it a lot of love. There's bigger and better sound and there's quite a lot of depth.

What I mean with upscaling by studios, is when the remaster isn't actually using the original material to create a HD version, but simply digitally remastering.

A digital master is a scan of the original film negative on the computer (or of another copy of the film, hopefully closely descended from it). Typically processed to make it look as close to the theatrical presentation as possible.
A digital remaster is a new scan of the original film negative on the computer, so named to distinguish it from the original digital master. It could also mean they just want back to the original digital master and re-processed it. It's marketing, mostly.

I still have no idea what you are trying to say, or how this has anything to do with upscaling.

It's probably likely we'll see another reissue of the trilogy next year when Jurassic World comes out.

As for the upscaling issue, it's happened for some TV shows out on blu-ray. One of the blu-rays for Star Trek had the DS9 episode Trials and Tribulations included on it, but it was upscaled . (DS9 however might eventually get an HD release using the same process that the TNG blus have used). Likewise, Doctor Who, when it released the Tennant specials box set, had to upscale "The Next Doctor" since it was not HD, and I think something similar was done to the Eccleston/Tennant seasons for a recent blu-ray "Complete series" box set.

This also is a problem for further distribution of the classic series, which was shot mostly on video (although film was used mostly for exterior/location filming)

There is a non 3D remaster (called "Ultimate Trilogy" box, the comparison pictures Tosk linked to) out there, it's absolutely brilliant.

I'm looking forward to seeing it on Bluray.

There is a good chance that I got this wrong, but I've understood that a lot of blurays of older movies out there, are just the dvd-version digitally remastered to a higher resolution. No original sourcematerial used, just a sort of 'upgrading' of the resolution and some enhancements.

Now, like I said, I could be completely wrong here, since my knowledge on this is somewhat limited.

You're completely wrong here.

Good to know, and you learn something new everyday.

well you're partially correct.

A Lot of DVD's originate from an HD source. The source tapes from the Star Trek films were mostly 1080i broadcast masters. (TWOK and possibly TMP were remastered)

That HD source is downconverted to make a DVD but not for the Blu Ray release.
