Yep, I'm guessing as time goes by and the market for HD movies grows the time spent to make a great HD release "may" go up. I'm sort of feeling like with the market so small, the movie makers are thinking "lets not waste alot of money on this HD release thing until it proves to be profitable".

I've been backing up my SD DVD moves to a hard drive and watching them on my HDTV from a computer. With the computer doing the upscale to 1080p they look pretty darned good. No detail where there was none before, but still a nice visual experience.
