3:46 "I can't count very high" Nonono, Linus you mean: "I can't count, very high". It happens to me when I'm high as a kite aswell.
Great topic! The funny thing about the term "cigarette burn" - it was a term invented by Fight Club. In the projectionist industry they're just called cue marks or change over cues ;)
Maybe a "PC Master Race as Fast as Possible?" Even if it's just supposed to be a joke.

Wow, you just read my mind, exactly yesterday I was thinking of getting the remastered Star Trek TNG series, asking myself what exactly did they do with the remaster and if it is worth it... and I get up this morning with you explaining what remastering is !!!! PS. Linus, can you connect me to some studios who can remaster my home cinema Super 8's ?
That segue into the Freshbooks ad was pretty masterful.
Can you do a video on tri-band routers?
make a video about refresh rate vs resolution ex: 1080p,144hz vs 1440p,60hz
Dont forget music mastering
007 on blu ray has a pretty good bonus feature showing how they updated their films.
you guys should do a video on aspect ratios. like the history and where it's headed
It's quite different for Audio... Mastering in modern audio is (mostly) the matching of perceived volume to make all the songs in an album to sound similarly loud. Volume wars and all that jazz.

What did Linus mean at 2:30 when he said that aspect ratios are at "16:9 for now... anyway". Is he merely implying that things change, or is there currently a push to change the industry standard?

things change
Homeworld Remastered comes to mind, fantastic work done on that.
When he mentioned Star Wars when he did, I was surprised to not hear him say something like "Han shot first." Considering the context.
You don't cut down the aspect ratio, because that increases film grain, which then lowers the picture quality and means more work to remove it. Watch Filmmaker IQ's episode about aspect ratios for more on this.
Green screen done right! Can't see any green at all, and the colors on Linus are on point too.
Can you make a "UPS different Types As Fast As Possible" video?
Why was there no mention of mastered in 4K Linus... That is what I was looking for in this video!

Very useful and informative video. Thanks
usually this involves post processing techniques. in the case of audio, which is the field i am more confident about it goes throughout restoration, and high quality analogue and digital post processing. in the case of audio, it can involve compression, eq, limiting, but also post-processing, such as reverbs, delays, etc., etc., and re-treating the spatialisation features of the many multi-channel formats. in the case of video, you are right, color correction, etc.
This has been a rather informative Techquickie, even for the more tech-savvy! Keep it up.

in audio engineering mastering is the part that is adjusting the levels of different sources, so that you can hear evrything, and nothing is to loud. a remaster would me redoing this process, often it is simply giving it a boost in the low-mid range of tones, tho...
These segways are too smooth
In the case of animated movies, take Toy Story for example, what they’ll do is update the textures (Image files that makes up the look, sort of like paint) to match the higher resolution, and slightly modify the models (Basically a 3D object that ultimately makes up the shape of the object, like a 3D model lamp.) to give them more fine edges so that when viewed on a higher-res display, the choppy looking model wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb. And of course, everything else that was mentioned in this video.
Linus good video just wanted to say I work in this industry making CD and DVD masters as well as CD and DVD r and making CD and DVD stampers fun to see something I can relate to
Noticed your "for now" in reference to 16x9 aspect ratio. You should do a tech quickly on history of aspect ratios standards and future standard projections.
What are those "Specialized software"?
I remember seeing the blu ray of ghostbusters years ago and it said right on the cover "taken from a 4k remaster!" I understood blu ray as 1080P and found that confusing. In other words, its a fancy way of saying they used a new 4k scan to make the blu ray. While the blu ray wasnt 4k the source was, ensureing best picture possible. Ive also seen remastering of tv shows as well. It all depends how it was done: on flim or tape. Tape is a tv raster and while AI can make it 8k its only as good as the source its taken from.
I'm just happy with my new HDCD of Amarok by MIke Oldfield.
I would've thought Linus would make a Fight Club reference by pointing up and to his left, and the editor would put a cigarette burn on the top-left of the video.
next episode about microphones xlr and audio interfaces :)
does linus not like 16:9? I know he uses those ultra wide monitors.
Ok, so I know this video is almost 5 years old but do you guys know any of the programs used to "remaster" movies? I've been wanting to work with this for a while and lately I've started working a project to remaster some old shows openings (like Star Trek DS9 or Stargate Atlantis) but I just can't find programs that actually let me enhance the image itself. I've tried using editing programs and scaling programs but didn't get very far...
Dennis raw footage, the real shit.
Wow got onto a video pretty early for once!
A perfect example of superb remastering is what CBS Digital did with Star Trek: The Next Generation.

+Chris Cunningham Indeed. It's a shame about season two though. It was kind of... not the same standard. They gave that to another team with the intention of spending twice as long per season by splitting up the task. You can see the fruits of this with season three, it looks fucking amazing! Especially the first episode. The rest was done by CBS so the amazing quality returned for the remaining seasons. Not that season two was that bad, just not quite as well done as the others.

TalesOfWar Season 4 was outsourced to another company, luckily, they did a much better job, but still not CBS Digital quality. CBS was really pissed about how season 2 turned out, apparently the company had the audacity to ask for more money and it would do better next time. In the end, CBS Digital did seasons 1, 3, 5-7. HTV did season 2, Modern Videofilm did season 4.

***** Modern Videofilm did a good job with 4. I didn't know they outsourced that too, I thought it was just 2. I'm just wondering how well the rest would have turned out if they had as long to spend on them as they did for 3. I was genuinely shocked (in a good way) when I saw the opening episode of that season and how it looked more like a film than a TV show. The whole thing impressed me really, you never realised just how much detail they put into those sets in previous releases and TV play.

TalesOfWar Yea, season 2 and 4 were outsourced. Of course, for _Best of Both Worlds, Part 2_ in season 4, CBS Digital did that too, to maintain quality consistency, but from _Family_ to _In Theory_ it was MVF, CBS Digital picked back up on the last episode _Redemption, Part 1_ of season 4 and did every season after that. :) Yea, the opening shot in "Evolution" made my jaw drop compared to the original composite, with the way the blues from the warp engines now play with the red-orange lighting of the star, it's very nice.
Mastering songs next?
Why is dialogue often really quiet on DVDs?
From what I understand, on some instances, remastering is just a fancy word for rendering. They just re-render the movie in HD so that it looks better than if they were going to use an old source.
Mastering: They made everything sound really loud Remastering: They try and make it not as loud as before

The process of film remastering includes scanning the original film with a telecine, then restoration, then color grading with tools like Resolve, then audio cleanup and enhancement.

+Emil Bozhilov Those old films were shot on an actual roll of film. Film's pretty high res, pixel wise it's around 2.5k on smaller rolls, however some can be super high res (like 70mm vistavision/panavision) . Some studios will scan the film and then have a retouching company touch up the scanned images to make them free of specks and dust. Then it's put together again with the new footage/new copy replacing the old copy. Quite expensive, though some historic films have done a beautiful job of being restored - though, they are secrets close to my heart haha. In summary, the studios always had a hi res copy of the film that looked beautiful from since they released the film originally, the problem was that DVD/vhs/laserdisc made it look like crap - now that blu rays exist we can have closer quality to what the master looks like at the comfort of home. It was only the distribution copy that was ugly.

+Emil Bozhilov Back then there were no high res TVs. All TVs had a "resolution" around 800x600. Higher resolution TVs have been affordable for the most buyers maybe from the start of 2000s if even then. Also there were no high capacity mediums. Video tapes would have had to be much larger to record high res footage, for which there really was no need, as no one had the equipment to utilize any higher resolutions. Blu-rays and HD-DVDs were the first to have the required capacity for high res.

I like the Special Edition Star Wars come at me
Red Dwarf. Originally, the show was released on VHS. People threw a fit when the show was re-released onto DVDs as "remastered" with no option for it not to be. This in itself would have been fine if they hadn't gone crazy with the cheapass CGI effects overlaying old models. It looked horrible and people complained, so they re-re-released the DVDs on their original forms. Don't mess with Red Dwarf fans. Lol
