The transfers we did in 2004 were all at 2K resolution, so in theory, they'll hold up fine for HD.

A relatively honest comment. Which is nice for once. But what he mentions about the 77 negatives and scanning in 2K goes against everything we've heard to my knowledge. Hmm...Lowry did talk about cleaning up the negatives...sooo they did work with o-negs?

EDIT: I asked about o-negs.
