Is Blu-ray actually better than DVD?

The biggest difference is in the capacity of the discs. Blu-ray boasts up to 25 GB on single-layer discs and 50 GB on double-layer discs, with HD DVD at 15 GB and 30 GB. Both HD DVD and Blu-ray players are backward compatible with older DVDs, and both can upconvert regular DVDs for viewing on an HDTV.
Is Blu-ray worth it for older movies?
You can get more detail, better colors, and more filmlike textures from a Blu-ray. Also, a Blu-ray is 50gb at dual layer compared to a DVD’s roughly 9gb that means that both the audio and video tracks are less compressed. Most of those films received almost perfect rating when it comes to picture quality.
Can you play regular DVDs on a Blu-Ray player?
Regular Blu-ray players are a good match for high-definition TVs, offering the best 1080p picture quality available. All types of Blu-ray players can also play standard DVDs and CDs, so you can use one player for all your discs.
Is 4K DVD better than Blu-ray?
A 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc has a much higher capacity than a standard Blu-ray disc which allows it to store a movie with Ultra HD resolution.

Are old movies better in SD or HD?
Transferring from film to SD discards detail in the image, so things will look blurrier or less crisp. To sum up the last couple points: if the transfer is done well, it will look better in the same way that an HD version of a modern movie looks better than a DVD.
