Yes! Especially the old videos sometimes they're so grainy I can hardly watch them.

The problem is that if it was shot in standard resolution video, it won't look any better on Blue Ray. The movies can look better because they were shot on film so they go back to the original source and process it again in HD. Sadly, because of the original source on the P.R. tour show, as well as anything shot on video from back in the day, it won't look much different.

Blue Ray isn't going to save poorly shot video from the past and Prince probably shot most of his concerts on video. In fact, odds are he hasn't switched to HD yet. Most people haven't, partially because of the cost, and partially because one format for broadcast (I'm not talking about BlueRay/HDVD) hasn't become the standard. As a TV producer, I know that each network has a different standard for HD so I doubt Prince has invested too much money in one direction yet.

Just a little dose of reality.

I've seen Sign O The Times on cable a few times and had it on both Vhs and Laserdisc formats but not on Dvd.How does the film look when you watch it in High Definition tv? know I probably asked a silly question.Peace!
