livelikemusic Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 These are not remastered. They're lazy upscales from the 480p original YouTube uploads. Sony doesn't care anymore. More of the record labels don't care anymore. Unless an artist is involved, there will not be any care put into these so-called "remasters." The only two sets of people to get it entirely right has been the Spice Girls and Steps. Actual remastered videos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slw84 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Justice for Loving you and Still and I've been thinkin. The quality. I'm glad we got music.

It’s such a special album as it’s “the Bennifer album” and now they’re married 20 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case your screenshots aren’t remasters either correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like All I have and I'm glad and Baby I love you but not before Still, Loving you, Dear ben, I've been thinkin It wouldn't have made sense to release Still and Lovin you, though but Dear Ben as a closer. Whew. Jenny from the block was such an ingenious video at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the Collins English dictionary, remaster is defined as: "If a movie or musical recording is remastered, a new recording is made of the old version, using modern technology to improve the quality." By that example, the ones I posted are that. They're more competent upscales by fans than what Sony Music is attempting to falsely advertise as remasters. Doing an automated upscale of a YouTube 480p is lazy, and they should not be labeled as "remastered" at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them rescanning the original film to 4K and re-editing would be ideal, but alas. @Onthe6 @Dabbyy @CosTaSsSs @Mokichi I noticed they have uploaded a different version of the JFTB video with rap, for the first time, two days ago.
