Title: Film Restoration with 700 Apple Power Mac G5 Computers Post by: Andrew on December 15, 2006, 12:59:13 PM The following Wired story talks about a service that restores films using a huge bank of Apple Power Macs. It sounds like the results are excellent. Hopefully, the cost will decrease and some of the old b-movies and bad movies that have suffered will be restored.
Man, a digitally restored version of The Terror of Tiny Town.
