If it's film, it goes through a telecine machine. Then it is "DIGITIZED." They then clean-up the splotches, scratches, and imperfections. The audio is then converted to 2.0 or 5.1 stereo. Then they export it to the HIGHEST resolution possible(e.g. 1080X720) Blu-Ray for old films just means the resolution is much more clearer and higher than the usual dimensions.It's not HD to the point of the film being "as if it was made today" but it does give a decent print on an otherwise old film. It's possible to do, but some film purists condone it because it tampers with the director's original intentions. Think of how many stations are "colorizing" many 1940s films. It's just like that, many purists don't like the digital tampering of films.</blockquote>
