Is it me, or the first and second video are totally different shots ? The train, people and station look totally different.

  I don't know why he didn't link the right scene but here it is: https://youtu.be/4nj0vEO4Q6s?t=265 https://youtu.be/4nj0vEO4Q6s?t=265

    It looks like it's the crudest form of telecine, a video camera pointed at a projection screen on the wall. Maybe even the "weaving" motion is from a slightly swaying cloth projection screen? I'd be interested to see what the Lumiere train movie would look like if properly laser scanned in 4k with a wetgate.

      It's unclear what the correct "starting" versions for what are. Specifically, as I've posted in a separate post, there were already more "digital" "restoration" works, and whatever we see on youtube is most probably already processed by somebody and some computers and algorithms, more than once. And it's most probable that the previous kinds of processing were with bad tools or with some other deficiencies. The proper path would indeed be somebody hi-res scanning frame by frame, all grain and scratches kept, each frame more than once with different lighting etc, and then starting from there and comparing the "restoration" results, always with the original(s). Just as an example, a lot of techniques for removing grain remove the existing information. The different lighting scans allow a lot of advanced algorithms to restore what our eyes could discern from the real film but most of the processes remove etc.
