Anything shot on 35mm or 70mm film should be easily mastered for 1080p
home viewing because both formats are inherently much higher in
resolution than 1080p. If the negative is in good shape, making an HD
master should be easy. Problems are going to arise with TV shows shot
on video tape or 16mm film. They will probably not look as good as
people are going to become accustomed to.

OK as far as resolution goes, but I understand (well maybe understand
is too strong a word :-)), from another thread, that movies are shot
at a 24 frame per second rate while TV shows are done at a 60 frame
per second rate. So wouldn't any movie look inferior to a program
that was digitally shot, directly for TV or DVD, e.g. the Planet Earth
series?
