Surely if it was originated on cine film, it can't be in high def or whatever Blu-Ray is? Not up on the transfer technology, so if someone is, perhaps they can fill me in? Ta...

If it was shot on film it will already be HD. Check out The community for fans of Jaws, Steven Spielberg, sharks and movies :: JAWSmovie.com , there is a 8 and half minutes featurette from Universal all about the restoration of the film halfway down the page.

Well it can't be in "HD" in the sense that only applies to digital technology. Film is analogue but able to capture masses of detail.

So it will be able to be transferred to an HD digital format very nicely, in fact some of the detail will have to thrown away.

The scariest film of all time, The exorcist,saw,phsyco,nightmare on elm not a touch on it. i remember seeing it when i was 8 at the cinema in Rye. (no longer there) & i used to love the sea. It put me off going in the sea for 34years.

Santa brought me Apocalypse Now Collectors Edition 'Blu Ray' at Xmas. Super impressive packaging, director's cut version, 'making of' disc and all the rest of it, but as for the movie itself, very little change in level of detail from VHS, so far as I could see. Still, it looked absolutely fantastic on a big digital telly, and I'm sure Jaws will too.

Analogue conversion from film to digital format can resolve 4k2k so with current Blu Ray half the detail is lost as it displays on a full HDTV as 1920 x 1080p.
