A person who is particularly interested in and appreciative of video. A videophile need not spend a fortune on equipment or software, although that is the impression many people have. A videophile is one who savors visual images, particularly movies and other moving visual images, and their faithful reproduction. Simply enjoying watching movies or television does not necessarily make one a videophile. There is a passion and fire for the visual image and a quest for true-to-life quality that differentiates a videophile from a video watcher.
