The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

What is quality to you? The image size/resolution, the audio sample rate, the noise?
There's a point where the difference is imperceptible.
I think it's largely nostalgia behind replies like yours, analogue and digital are different, not a blanket better or worse.
You are correct.
The figure I was given at art college was that a well exposed and developed 35mm negative had a minimum resolution of 90 million pixels, which is higher than 8K at ~75 million.
Is it just me, or does that not contradict the statement you said of “film doesn’t have infinite resolution”?
What? Not at all.
I'm saying we can already scan stuff at way beyond the resolution film is able to record, how is that mutually exclusive with there only being useful detail in the film up to a certain scale?
We wouldn’t need Ai just a way….
Yeah you contradicted yourself, that’s why I mentioned you would need Ai and infilling…
I think you completely misunderstood the conversation here, I don’t need stuff mansplained lmfao. I thought we were having a thought experiment on what things could potentially be.
And yeah you’ve made multiple contradictory statements regardless of that. I even brought up we don’t have screens to make any of this useful, was that not a big enough hint that it’s not a possibility currently…?
See so after insulting me and badgering me that I was incorrect, you missed my point because you couldn’t comprehend the situation where it’s possible. Yet it already is… home videos being scanned and upscaled it’s already a market dude lmfao.
And you still try and pass it off as you being superior, holy lord lmfao.
I'm not correcting what you said, I'm correcting what you think I said.
AI could add detail that isn't there in the film, but it is unnecessary to recover detail that IS there because we absolutely have the tech to get the full detail that is available in the film. No need to make up for lost detail with AI.
I though you meant we'd have to use AI to match film, because we can't scan it at a superior-to-film level.
Film is also so so insanely high detail, that the idea of enhancing it further never even occurred to me. It'd be utterly pointless.
There is only a contradiction if you interpret my words in a way I didn't intend.
So don't. If you still do after I've told you otherwise, yes, you'd be being disingenuous.
So we have an electron scanner that scan higher resolution than limited resolution film… and we don’t need AI because the resolution is available if we were to scan it…? What…?
Yeah that’s contradictory and exactly what you said…… sorry.
You also said earlier something completely different about film not being insanely high quality….
I can only interpret the words as you’ve stated them, and you’ve argued multiple conflating and contradictory points.
So what is it? Limited quality? Higher quality than we could ever see? Can’t remaster forever? Can?
I’m only addressing your first part and I’m done…
Because you said you don’t need fucking Ai you clown. Jesus Christ, that’s the entire point of this now argument, you missed my entire point because you thought you needed to mansplain something, and have now caught yourself in a contradictory spiral.
The other exchange we already solved everything else, there is absolutely usecases where my “hypothetical” situation already happens. Fucking hell
Well you're definitely right about remastering/digitising old film...
But if Star Wars was done on old DV, Lucas wouldn't have been able to digitally butcher it, so there's that.
I dunno. I feel like he would have tried if there had been the same amount of public dissatisfaction with the originals as there was with the prequels.
He probably might have remade them.... Give me chills thinking about it
Ergo, analogue for now still beats digital at the highest ends of the market. There's no digital camera outperforming the analogue ones. I want some of them upvotes back!! 😤
Sure... Nostalgia is what drives the movie studios... That's why they still use analogue despite the superior results of digital, at lower total costs... 🤡!
