I genuinely wonder why old films like this are digitized to such low resolution. Photographic film has very high resolution, even the old stuff, like this, but it always seems like it's digitized by someone that doesn't care how it looks.
- minikites 6y agoMaybe it went from film to VHS first, then VHS to the internet?

- ghaff 6y agoIn general, when you're looking at video that old, you're almost certainly looking at multi-generation copies with some transfers being decidedly suboptimal. It's pretty unlikely that they have the original nitrate film.
