Is the difference between DVD and Blu-ray?

i generaly find that the resolution is much better (Moar pixles) the frame rate seems smoother and in some cases the framerate is higher.

but if the source was only 480p and then riped as a 1080p you wouldnt notice the difference except for the bandwith cost.

but if the origional copy was of superior quality and had to be compressed to 480p to fit on a conventional dvd then the 1080p is better as it would contain moar information than the 480p (sounds like im going in circles)


but if you take a real movie like transformers.

the standard dvd looks good.

but watch it on blue ray and you would be like



same goes for a image you can have a poor scan of an image and try to upscale it. and it looks sht.

or you can have a 1080p scan of the orginal and it would look so much better.


i hope i havent strayed XD

NaRu:
I have about 60 Blu Ray movies and 300 DVDs.

Now I use a 46" 1080p LCD TV, 50" 1080i Plasma, and a 30" 1080i LCD and I notice a huge difference on all 3 TVs

I have seen the Lord of the Ring movies in both DVD and 1080p and there is a big visual different apparent to me. It might not be as apparent depending on what you are watching. For example in animation where there aren't as many detailed textures the resolution doesn't have much room to shine. In the end I'd be as happy watching a DVD as a Blu-ray, however, watching action scenes in 1080p sure kicks ass :)

My tv isn't large enough to make much of a difference.  I'll still notice it, but not like the difference between modern dvdrips and something like 2000s-era tvrips.

vuzedome:
But for some unknown reason, some people still can't really see the difference, even with a >30inch Full HD tv.
