    Default Footage filmed on 50i Digibeta put on Blu - Ray

    Does this possess a visual bennifit over standard hardware encoded DVD?

    Why would you want to bother?

    DVDs store SDTV in H.262 MPEG2. Digibetas record SDTV. A perfect match.

    BluRays store HDTV in H.264 MPEG4.

    A data file is a data file, whatever medium you store it on.

    But what about compression issues with putting content on a standard DVD?

    You got all the answers already, but haven't answered my question, why would you bother?
