When YouTube allowed music labels to "remaster" their original uploads, different videos had very different approaches. Some are in crystal-clear 4K; others are very definitely not. Here's why some of them look terrible.

“It’s sharper, sure” YOU HAD ONE CHANCE TO SAY “but it ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed”

I just love the thought of having a "Tom Scott" window in my editing software.

06:09 for those who don’t work doing creative roles, you’d be surprised how often the brief is ‘we don’t care, just make it work’ and give someone junior a couple of hours to make it happen

The Smash Mouth - All Star remaster was clearly the Shrek movie.

“It does seem a terrible option to make it worse.” Well, the media men beg to differ

“it’s sharper, sure. but it’s not better” you really missed the opportunity to say “but it’s not the sharpest tool in the shed”

Hearing Tom saying “Demon child” is something I never knew I needed.

Fun fact: Apollo launched in the 60s/70s were filmed on film but then scanned to display on tv all over the world. And since then, the images of Apollo launches we see are those bad quality scans from the 80s... Until someone decided to scan the original films again and put them into a movie: Apollo 11

“If you are gonna change the historical record it does seem a terrible option to make it worse” no one has ever described the controversy around the Star Wars remasters better

RIP Steve Harwell 😢 Such a shame this shite remaster of the All-Star music video is part of his legacy

5:52 - Some of the shots, mainly the outside shots were recorded onto film, because the cameras were much more compact and portable than the TV cameras. In those moments you see no interlacing, because film cameras introduce no such artefact. On the other side, when it was possible, scenes were shot with the bulk TV cameras. This resulted in interlacing. Finally, the transitions between the film cameras and TV cameras are made entirely onto tape, so that's why the one side is interlaced, but the another - not.

This is really cool, but also sort of sad. Almost like “taping Over” history. Would be nice to have an option on the YouTube Playback window to switch between the old video and new one.

1:28 you did a nice attempt simulating 480i by pixelating yourself to 240p, but my internet decided this video was best served to me in 144p, so I could not notice the difference either way!
