Videophile

A videophile (literally, "one who loves sight") is one who is concerned with achieving high-quality results in the recording and playback of movies, TV programs, etc.

Some of the aspects of video that most videophiles are concerned with include frame rate, color system, resolution, compression artifacts, motion artifacts, video noise, screen size, etc.

In additional to traditional remastering using original film negatives (for instance) or basic upscaling, commercial software such as Topaz Video AI are able to harness the power of artificial intelligence to automatically upscale content in a dynamic fashion.

[3] A hybrid strategy of combining AI remastering and manual adjustment is exemplified in Peter Jackson's The Beatles: Get Back (2022).

This was the first publication to unite fans of the Sony Betamax home video recorder (and later VHS, introduced in 1977).
