this question wasn't a big issue to me until the 16th this month.
i've had a finished treatment of The Big Lebowski that was inspired mostly by a buddy of mine.
for some insane reason, he doesn't care for the film.
i loved it the first time a saw it almost 12 years ago now. it's brilliant. how could i sit and watch a movie where nothing happens for two hours and be completely entertained? The BL accomplishes that.
but my buddy didn't like it so i decided that The BL would be my first effort into this art form.
after devouring everything i could on this site, joining the forum, watching film after film after film and even contacting a few members with private questions, i got my hands on some software (had to upgrade my compy; which was due anyway), watched a ton of youtube tutorials and a few months later . . . i'm still learning cool stuff to do.
but anyway, i digress.
august 16th rolls around and The Big Lebowski is released on Bluray.
but now i'm faced with that question, do i redo my edit with a Bluray rip?
is the video/audio quality really that much better when they "up-convert" something for a Bluray release ?
(i haven't bought it yet and don't have anything that studios have "up-converted". the only blurays i have are movies made after the HD revolution. i'm not very keen on replacing my DVD library just quite yet.)
so i want to see what everyone thinks. i've noticed some people do straight-up bluray rips and edits. and i've also noticed people re-releasing their edit in HD.
cheers.
