Can someone answer a techy question??
How can an old 60's show like "Bewitched" or.. "I dream of Jeannie" be shown on LivingHD channel? I'm damn sure even the yanks didn't have HD cameras in the 60's (lol) so.. what can be so "HD" about old (pre-HD) shows? TIA

That, if shown on a suitable telecine machine will give HD quality. -- From KT24 Using a RISC OS computer running v5.11

News to me All major US shows were shot on 35mm film to allow for conversion to TV systems not used in the USA. (kim)

Why wouldn't it have been 16mm? 35mm seems overkill (for 525-line NTSC). -- Bartc

Why wouldn't it have been 16mm? 35mm seems overkill (for 525-line NTSC). The Wikipedia article seems to suggest that 35mm was already in use in TV studios in the US when 16mm first went into professional use. It would have been a major step for a studio to throw out its 35mm equipment and start using equipment that would give lower quality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_mm_film -- Peter Duncanson (in uk.tech.digital-tv)
