i know.. i know.. another question.. but kind of important and once again google fails me.. Anyone know of a program that makes a videos resolutions bigger but keeps the image quality intact, i know of photoshop being able to with just still images but im not about to take about this video and do it one by one.. Thanks in advance :) EDIT: OH and I have vituarl Dub and that makes the video look ugly.. maybe i need a better video encoder? dont know really..
You can't just create pixels out of nowhere.
.. how does photoshop >.> EDIT: i know it doesnt really make pixels i guess it just kind of smooths out whats there.. but does any video editor do that?
good luck
Don't scale things larger than the source material. Ever. You don't gain anything from it.

You know what else drives me up the wall? When people on Youtube (so people who know nothing about video works) post a 4:3 video, captured in standard definition, and then stretch it to fit the widescreen frame and render it at 720p. It just looks like shit because its stretched to widescreen, and there is no point to 720p when your source wasn't 720p in the first place. No HD is better than shitty stretched HD. So OP, don't do it. Keep it native.
most players should already do this. even windows media player, which is atrocious, does it. can they increase detail? of course not, that's impossible, but they scale, and it doesn't look that bad. [editline]08:08PM[/editline] and in case i misunderstood and you're instead wishing to stretch videos via conversion - don't. like i said, media players will already do that for you, and no conversion software can do better than a media player, in some cases can only do worse.
