HDTV provides a much higher resolution than current DVDs are encoded for... video-based content (DVDs of television shows, etc.) won't improve, but any FILM-based content will be re-encoded at a higher resolution. or am i mistaken about this?
smells to me like everything you purchased on VHS...
and then purchased again on DVD...
you'll get to buy YET AGAIN on HD/DVD (or whatever.)
but the film industry is worried about DeCSS cutting into their profits. seems they've already managed to sell the same content twice, and will soon be working on a third.
