danotronXX:wrote hey there, quick question. which has a higher resolution, blu-ray movies or the resolution films are projected on film theaters. i tried googling it couple times but I'm still not getting a straightforward answer. maybe its not a straightforward question. but anyways wanted to see if any of you knew this cause i've been tryn to find out for a bit. Film has higher resolution than blu-ray. Film offers 10,000 lines of horizontal resolution compared to the 1920 X 1080 lines that consumer blu-ray offers. Digital Commercial Cinema uses the same resolution as blue-ray, but instead of using MPEG 2 or AVCHD codecs, Digital Commercial Cinema uses the JPEG 2000 video codec. The Digital Commercial Cinema projector also does a little up-scalling to bring the final output to 2048 x 1080. So theres the final answer.
