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?

    What is quality to you? The image size/resolution, the audio sample rate, the noise?

    There’s a point where the difference is imperceptible.

    I think it’s largely nostalgia behind replies like yours, analogue and digital are different, not a blanket better or worse.

      Sure… Nostalgia is what drives the movie studios… That’s why they still use analogue despite the superior results of digital, at lower total costs… 🤡!
