I remember asking my dad when I was a kid why the resolution of sports events, even from only a decade or so earlier, looked awful, while old movies were pristine. He went into a long conversation about recording on film vs. video. Keep in mind, I asked him this during an era when there wasn't any digital motion media being recorded. So, that adds to my confusion. What was my dad explaining? Why is the quality of old analog film of such superior resolution to old analog video tape?
