Blu ray Transformers

[5FDP]

I don't have Blu Ray yet... so is Blu ray meant to be hands down better than DVD or just better in aspects but not in others (like say DVD vs LD)?

It depends on the application. Blu Ray holds more information that a normal DVD as has been stated therefore picture can be shown at a higher resolution e.g. 1080p given the right TV equipment, however, it is a really expensive process to remaster a movie that was made 20 years ago and in digital terms, it's easy to go backwards in terms of quality, but to polish a movie is like polishing a turd - it'll still look crap. It's the old LP's vs CD's argument.
