This is completely incorrect. Later shows like Voyager and DS9 were also shot on film.

However, all post-production happened in standard definition, so all special effects, editing and colour correction would have to be redone, which is incredibly expensive.

They did that with TNG, but since those blurays didn't sell enough, they didn't bother doing the same for DS9/VOY.

Thank you, I did not realize that the difference was in post. There's no better way to get correct information on the internet, than to post an incorrect statement on the internet!

No worries! There's a good chance that anything I post that sounds remotely authoritative turns out to be super inaccurate as well :)
