Good clarification. IMAX is a complete seperate filming process. There is some sort of "large format" conversion that they do, but my best guess is that it is similar to the idea of upconverting DVDs for HD displays. It still isn't true HD, but is better than leaving them at standard DVD resolution. With the IMAX conversions, they reprint the film after it has been, for a lack of better word, upconverted.

I am sure that someone here will correct me with the actual terms and process, but I am just going for the conceptual idea of what I think it is.
