'Would it be unfair to say that those who want to "de-oldify" old movies are people who don't like old movies?'
Yes, it would be unfair to say that. I love old movies, that's why I choose to colorize certain ones (mostly lively/comedic 20s-30s). I feel it brings the era and people 'to life' to put them in vibrant colour rather than monochrome. OTOH, I wouldn't colorize a Film Noir (although I have a Film Noir fan friend who keeps asking me to! Nope, it would be sacrilege!). If you don't like colorized movies you don't have to watch them, stick with original B&W. :)
I know about renaming mp4s to mpeg4 here. Mine are mostly 450-800MB and I feel that's small enough without losing quality. My last upload was 1.1GB so I did rename it mpeg4 and it got derived to a much smaller mp4 which had notably lower quality.
Don't know what you mean about changing aspect ratios or removing part of the picture, that's not something I would do. ??
