You got the numbers mixed there, it's 720x480 and 720x576 and 640x480, etc. 640/720 pixels width and 480 pixels of height ie. amount of lines (576 for PAL). But for analog broadcasts even those are just estimates, you had a few lines/pixels more or less in the active video area as a safety margin. For example the actual width is 704 pixels, with 8 added on both sides as a safety margin.
Then DVDs adopted ITU Rec.601 and once digital mastering became the norm, they tried to fill out the entire frame size as best as possible (so no more bars on the side).

>Since first widescreen LCDs were only 480 pixels high, the only way to view 4:3 content was to squish horizontally instead of stretch vertically. And that what what led people to believe 480x640 is the actual correct size of the frames

>And why use 720x540 over 640x480? It's less computationally expensive, and higher quality cause it preserves the horizontal resolution.

Oh, and note, this only works right with progressive video. With interlaced video, it should not be done since it will just add a ton of artifacts.

Once you deinterlace (or detelecine which is even better), you are dealing with progressive frames, and you can stretch or upscale with no new artifacts.

After the captcha got fixed, it was posting that got broken, but it's fixed by now.
It seems to have been caused by a cloudflare bad gateway problem.

Most alternatives are slow and hard to come by, Kuz is buying up more and more sites and becoming a monopolizer, and /pol/ is doing a history revisionism and becoming the dominant culture of most imageboards opened in the last few years. I have no clue what could become of these kinds of sites, but I hope something better comes along for imageboards in the near future. What do you think?

Communities that "we used to visit" are going away, because we grew up and have different interests now, and any new users are not the tech-savvy nerds who used to populate message and image boards in the early 00s. The internet is not counter-culture anymore, it's mainstream. Old internet communities die off or change. Even plus4chan is missing most of its old community, because they all moved to discord.

Federated places are basically webrings, which rely on each other for advertising themselves because google does not return fuck all results now. This is because all the sites are tiny. If any one of them would grow big enough, it would swallow all the users from the smaller ones and those would die off, the same way discord and reddit swallowed smaller local message boards and IRC servers.

Pretty much. I see it as both positive in some regards and negative in others. It would be nice to regain that element of community again, not revive old communities that once existed.
