The OTW ones (Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Rock With You and She's Out Of My Life) are videotape, yes.
They could just upgrade the YT / streaming versions and/or revamp Vision to a BluRay boxset.
They can release the new 4K scanned videos on DVD too. The difference could be seen also in SD quality.
I promise you I can find me some VFX artist on social media that would be able to perfectly replicate the effects and would probably do it for peanuts.
They should do what the Beatles do with their anniversary albums to make it better.
God, no. It'd be pointless to spend time and money into making 4K scans only to convert them to SD.
They can release them in many formats.
I hope so! I understand the difficulties MJ’s videos pose over other artists of his era, but after seeing the “Beat It” and “Thriller” restorations, I’m convinced that everything he’s done needs to be delivered in the best possible quality.
There are ways to enhance SD, slightly at least.
Yeah, Blu-Ray is the only thing they're doing. DVD is not nearly as relevant anymore as some would have you believe.
That's not the only reason. Way more stuff is released on DVD than the other formats. More TV shows are on DVD than blu-ray, plus other stuff like exercise videos, cooking, documentaries, sports, church services, public domain, obscure movies, concerts, Time-Life DVD sets sold on infomercials, etc. Things that will never get a blu-ray release. Also the average person does not care about audio/video quality. That's why MP3s started the decline of CD sales. Some bought cheap bootlegs of current movies in theaters, that still happens today. They're called "street DVDs" where I live. Most are not audiophiles who spend thousands of dollars on a turntable. They buy a cheap Crosley from Walmart & Amazon. With DVDs many people still own a DVD only player. DVD only players are also still sold at Walmart for around $25. One reason blu-ray never really caught on with the general public because it came out around the same time streaming did, and the majority of people went for streaming with Netflix and later others like Disney+. The same way most people stream music now. They don't even put CD/cassette players as a default in new cars anymore.
what they should do in my opinion is try to launch a streaming platform, exclusively about MJ and MJ related things. Imagine what they can put on there. We have all the different documentaries and concerts that can be put there. Then we also have remastered music videos that can also be put on there. We have things such as Captain Eo(which is a bit tricky), Ghosts that could also be released there. I have this idea of sorting everything through eras which would make it a lot easier to follow. Any pro MJ documentary should also be put on there.
I think another reason the companies hurt the adoption of the post DVD formats, was continuing to release DVD/blu-ray/digital combo packs. People saw that the DVD only version was a bit cheaper, and they didn't need multiple discs of the same thing. The combo packs are part of DVD sales too. When DVDs first came out, there were no movies of VHS & DVD packaged together. A lot of people do not watch movies/TV shows multiple times, which is another plus for streaming.
My family always bought the combo. We wanted Blu-Ray and we went all in. We've had about 5 of those BR Players, from early on to later in the years before streaming took over. There's literally two sitting in front of me right now. Just my anecdote.
Lmao......wtf yes we did/do!
I said "a lot of people", not "everybody" or "most". That has always been the case. The younger generations are less likely to collect stuff than the earlier generations anyway. That's why streaming is popular. Streaming is how Drake has more hits on the Hot 100 than anyone else and Taylor Swift can have the entire Top 10. It wasn't because people bought their 45 singles. Streaming allows every song on an album to chart at the same time. Now they even count a certain amount of streams as a sale of a physical album.
I ms these days so much!
