They're getting ready to have serious problems with ripping, as a 500 Gig hard drive is under $100 now, and it's not that tough to rip a DVD or VHS to disk. Also, most of these movies will be the old stuff that wasn't in high definition anyway, so they won't be able to make the "quality" claim.
Most of my DVD ripping software was DL’d free from mininova and my last 1 TB hard drive I bought on Web Monday for $80 from WalMart. I agree, when WB reached into the vaults, someone for sure had to work overtime to make them look presentable.
The old Buster Keaton and Chaplin films if available, I’m very interested in. Not sure if they’re WB though.
Old movies “weren’t in high definition”?
Old movies are on 35mm film—which most assuredly IS “high definition.”
