IMAX Develops Movie Transfer Technology 513
kazama writes: "Toronto-based IMAX said that it had developed a new process called DMR (for "digital remastering") to digitally convert conventional 35mm films to the IMAX format without significant loss of detail. 'Our customers have been saying to us for years, "We want to see Star Wars on IMAX, we want to see The Matrix on IMAX." and DMR is the technology which is the enabler,' Co-CEO Bradley Wechsler told Reuters. 'That's going to be an increasingly important part of the company's performance.'" So what movies would you want to see on IMAX?

I saw LOTR on the imax screen here in Calgary. My girlfriend got annoyed watching it though - too blurry and it gave her motion sickness. We could have done the same thing with Spider-Man but we saw it on a regular screen instead.

The best part is that you idiots will go see all the movies you wank over AGAIN once they are reformatted for IMAX. The MPAA thanks you for giving them the money to afford the batallion of laywers they will use to get you sent to prison.

DigiRema sounds pretty cool though... or DiRema maybe. I have nothing more useful to contribute at this time.
