I always hear people/actors/directors say, this tape or film is x meters long, it is this size, etc. do they really still use physical film? If so why aren’t they using terabytes of storage in a way more compact form?

      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
