35mm film is about 11 megapixels when done the way the pros print it - 6 to 10 times the resolution of HDTV and 35 times DVD resolution (0.3 megapix per frame(1080i is 2megapix per frame and 720p is 1 megapix per frame - (wizard bait) -- even if it is renderd to 4x for editing - it's still many times better than HT sources - Not that I think it's a better experience in the Cinema - It's just that all the cinematic technology doesn't begin to transfer to HT via current media and networks.- not even Blu-ray - it's still HDTV - I'll just keep on renting the DVDs and buying the Superbits until someone brings 4x or 35mm 11 megapix to my HT
