There are a lot of videos that I’d like to watch in UHD and/or HDR but there is no streaming service that provides them. Why is that? Why do they not release them in UHD? The cameras they are shooting it with are more than cappable of providing UHD.

    One classic example being the Babylon 5 TV show… They thought ahead enough to film all the live action in widescreen, but all the CGI was done in 4:3 for expense and rendering time.

    Looked fine on TV in the 90s, not so much on DVD/Blu Ray. But short of re-doing all the CGI from scratch, not much else they can do.

      I feel like x-files is like that too. It mostly looks great on Blu-ray but the CGI shots don’t hold up lol
