So I have a video that’s resolution is something like 900X600 (give or take). When played fullscreen, it pixelates much like a youtube movie does. I’d like to find something that will allow me to re-encode it in a higher resolution (1920x1080). I would assume that it would need some sort of cubic interpolation filter to keep decent image quality. any ideas? ---

I highly doubt it would work…You can’t take something with less quality and add to it… ---

> [@BillysRevenge](#): > > I highly doubt it would work…You can’t take something with less quality and add to it… Ya teh whole upscaling and upconverting on DVD players always amazed me as to how it worked. The whole point of compression is to remove any possible extra space so i cant imagine it. ---

> [@BillysRevenge](#): > > I highly doubt it would work…You can’t take something with less quality and add to it… sure you can. I read an article in a photo magazine about a year or two ago about a photoshop plugin that did exactly this. It used a special algorithm to analyze the image, then based on that information would scale the image up to the proper size, the scan it again versus the inital scan and would in a sense create the missing detail. The results were pretty stunning (albeit, not as good as an original high resolution image, but good none the less)… I imagine this same technique could be used for video as well. ---

[http://www.ononesoftware.com/detail.php?prodLine\_id=2](http://www.ononesoftware.com/detail.php?prodLine_id=2) ah, I think this was the one. Just need to find software that will do the same thing for video ---

I believe Adobe Premier maybe able to do this; do NOT quote me on it, but it maybe worth a Torrent Download to try it out. It re-samples the images; one frame at a time and based on what the pixels are; it fills in the ones in between after it’s been enlarged. ---

No idea; haven’t messed with Premiere in about a year now. Know who else would know this for sure… Onyx; Mr Video himself. ---

I’m sure there is some program out there that can do it and improve the quality a little bit, but I don’t know anything off hand. I would start by finding a new video player for the file that might be able to clean up the image better when you make it full-screen. Or download a program called ‘Super’ and try messing around with that. [http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html](http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) - it might come out looking a little better, but I’ve never tried to do this.
