   God, will you knock it off with the Betacam tape crap?  Moron.

   The original Star Trek is on Blu-ray, because it's on film, which is way   
   higher resolution than Blu-ray.   
      
   TNG is on tape, at best at 720x486 resolution, which is DVD res.   
   There's no point in doing a new transfer unless they mucked up the last   
   one; there's no more information there to be had.
