I think your right about that. It definitely doesnt look as good as the TOS episodes do on bluray. Even playing a VOY DVD in the bluray player with a HD tv doesnt make it look too good, so i wonder what will be done if they ever want to put these on BluRay. I dont know enough about the process they use to transfer a show into bluray to hardly comment on it.

Of course, if it takes over a decade to get anything done, it will probably be too late as we will probably have moved on to the next format by then. Possibly all digital downloads rather than a physical disk. Even then, though, they would still need to do the retransfer for HD quality. So no matter what, I'm sure that process is being planned or talked about.

If I remember correctly, the special effects were put into the episodes after transfer to video, so all those shots with any kind of sfx will need those effects to be redone from scratch, and that might be too expensive compared to the expected returns of an HD set.... especially for VOY.

Enterprise was filmed digitally and it looks fantastic presented in HD.

I love the 4th season of ENT. It was the only set I actually bought, but the other 3 seasons aren't bad the major problem (IMO) was that the whole "temporal war" really went no where and I thought the Xindi thing went on too long. But you should watch them!
As I recall, in some interview with the team that re-mastered and re-did all the effects for TOS, They said that TNG, especially the 1st couple of seasons, would really benefit from the same type of treatment.

This is from Memory Alpha - Enterprise was the first series to air in high definition. It was produced in 1080i with Sony HD cameras starting in Season 4; the first 3 seasons were filmed with traditional 35mm film cameras (which were then transfered to digital for broadcast).
And this is the article the above post references - http://www.startrek....ticle/6165.html

But the show was broadcast in HD before the 4th season. (In some markets.)
I recently watched some season 1 episodes on HDNet and they look great.

Right, digital filming isn't necessary for HD-quality broadcasts or Blu-Ray presentation. I've got a bunch of movies from decades ago on Blu-Ray and they look phenomenal.
What is important is that it looks like the effects in Enterprise were output at HD levels.
Which makes it so surprising that the TMP Director's Edition effects weren't!
