[citation][nom]moricon[/nom]The appeal of old movies is the media it was filmed on, why remove the grain and blotches, thats how it was filmed, looks unreal cleaned up!Slo mo is very very good though![/citation]
I agree. I personally prefer films that retain that aged feel, despite the audio and visual artifacts. I'm not a massive fan of digital media in general to be honest, including especially broadcast media. Digital seems very dark, flat and generally fatiguing. On my hardware I have access to both analogue and digital transmissions and when watching an old film..I'll take analogue any day.
As for this processing feature. I wonder what impact it will have on the service as a whole. Lately I find that all the adverts and constant features place an increasing load on my system and what makes it worse is that darn buffering. I'd be interested to know just what kind of hardware YT uses to store, process and stream all this media. Does this technique for instance, rely on CPU-based algorithms or does it utilise GPU resources? The slow-mo filter..I can see that being popular on certain video's alright lol. Most of them being x-rated.
