You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
The 2018 MSU codec comparison is out with H.264, H.265, VP9, and AV1. tl;dr: VP9 is on par with H.265 in quality, though takes longer to encode compared to most H.265 encoders, AV1 beats H.265 by 20-30% (in bits needed to achieve the same quality) but takes hundreds of times longer to encode right now. Edit: oops, those are last year's results with this year's not being ready yet.

yeah it was this, back when they were just starting to roll out "high quality" videos (480p) you could "force" it to play 480p instead of the default 320p by adding that get parameter

u know what, i'm going to crosspost this here because i have opinions

this is the original comparison between the itunes hd version and the blu-ray version




i tried recreating the look in the blu-ray screenshot using the itunes screenshot:





even using surface blur is an improvement

in alice in wonderland they decided that gray should be purple for some reason, and colors in general should be super saturated, but other than that, the blu-ray version looks way better than with sword in the stone. i don't mind the noise reduction that much, tbh, since they seem to have been able to retain the details in the linework and the painted background.

the left image is apparently a 35mm film scan, the right image is a screenshot from the blu-ray

Disney likes to "restore" their Blu Ray releases but they give the job to the colorblind intern who watched a YouTubetutorial on after effects.

digital noise reduction for stuff shot on film needs to die already

also film grain isn’t noise

sup, bitch?
film grain doesn’t compress because it is essentially random static. the right thing to do is to take it out and replace it with temporal blue noise dither.

nah, just use a decent bitrate.

especially for something like bluray, which is supposed to be a high end format, where there is plenty of space and none of the issues with streaming exist.

it looks terrible to us, the galaxy brain computer nerds, but consider that the people watching disney cartoons on blu-ray are either (1) lunatic disney moms who love the look of digital vibrance and motion interpolation, or (2) small children.

disney knows their market, and you are not it.

if that was truly their market then why go to the trouble of rotoscoping the foreground and recompositing it with the background. you can please lunatic disney moms with bicubic scaling.

maybe the long con is to wait until enough nerds get mad about it and then release special editions with a grimy film transfer but in 8K
