  "It’s grayscale, not just black-and-white." Just in case reading TFA is too daunting for those only reading comments

    I was alluding to the difficulties of frame-rate conversion, dithering, and compression artifacts in the original source being amplified by the conversion. Grayscale by itself isn’t the issue.

      But the person you replied to "it only has two colors (black/white, 1/0)" which is what I was referring

        Yes, but I don’t think that black & white vs. grayscale makes a significant difference. Naively converting grayscale is virtually as “dead simple” as converting black & white.

          You seem to be interpreting my reply as a challenge to your comment rather than taking as support to it. The original comment made an incorrect statement-as-fact with b&w 1/0, yet TFA clearly stated it was grayscale. Your comment challenged implying TFA was not read, so I just backstopped your comment.

            Your comment implied that your citation makes reading the article unnecessary, in the context of my initial comment. Since your citation didn’t mention the difficulties I was alluding to, your comment seemed to be missing my point, and to those who didn’t read the article would give the wrong impression that my comment was about grayscale.
