    Rescanning with modern tools is the exact definition of a remaster - Going back to the original ‘master’ copy and using modern techniques to produce a newer, better version :-)

      True, I am more used to remastering in gaming when it usually means removing the piss color filter and removing the fps cap

        Fortunately, some remasters even in gaming are the same: Going back to the source, maybe fixing some bugs, and then using the highest quality assets that were available at the time but had to be scaled down to make the game make sense for the hardware of the time. Unfortunately those are few and far between.
