Yes and Yes. The resolution of the renders we are doing now allow for
the highest rez digital video storage currently available in NTSC. For
theatrical release, all we need do is flip this little chromium switch
here.......and out comes a ready to transfer film frame render.

I'm not really sure if this is a plausible strategy. Someone at
Warner's would need to book the theatres, and that would be the same
folks who think home video wouldn't fly.

Creative thinking, but......

Yup. The home video issue is truly Warner's to deal with. We can hope
that it will eventually be dealt with, but i sure wouldn't guess when or
in what format.
