i thinkthe best use of blur ray or hd dvd for old movies would be not to change them at all, but isntead offer them as collections.

on a single disc get the "film noir" series or something and include five or six of the classics rather than load up a disc with a billion useless features or ruin the integrity of the original format.

but corporations aren't going to go for that...not when they can sell those five or six movies separately on the new format and try to squeeze as much money as they can out of it.
