It's either gonna be a first WrestleMania type home run, or XFL, WBF level failure.

The old stuff prob wont be in HD.....no way they are taking the time to do all that to al of that footage.

How long does it take to convert something to HD? I thought it was an easy process Hopefully it's all digitially remastered, all of the old footage on their Blu Rays looks crisp - hopefully this'll be the same.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

are they legit giving us the whole catalog off top?

or is it gonna be like Netflix and be like "Raw season 7 only" for 8 months?

Well typically cameras capture shyt in a "RAW" (no homo/no pun intended) format that is then compressed in order to be distributed. So video is typically compressed into AVI or MP4 or w.e the fukk and Photos are typically compressed into JPG or PNG etc. So If they have all the RAW footage it should just be a matter of saving that shyt in HD format instead of in the past you'd have to really lose quality putting that shyt on DVD's or VHS.

That's my understanding of it all anyway

Most of it has already been converted tho

like what? Even when I bough that best of the Elimination Chamber DVD a couple years ago, it had the black bars on the side that say "WWE".....and that's just from like the mid-00's.

And all the WWE stuff on Netflix isn't in HD

They been doing it over the years for WWE 24/7, WWE On Demand

They did but its no way they could offer that much content through an on demand service, plus they dont have to pay the provider this way. Netflix set the blueprint just needs to be followed at this point

Vince said they'd only get a small percentage per subscriber, so this way they can capitalize off of their own fanbase and bring in high returns without having to break subscription records necessarily
