better video resolution

[ripken204]

is their a program to increase the resoultion of an mpeg video? i have some mpegs but they are 1/4 the size of the screen and ide like to make them full screen without loosing alot of the resouliton.

I do not think so you would have to re-encode the video

[prathapml]

Yes, there is.

But doing it will be positively useless. It will end up grainy, and blurry, etc.

Just use your media player's features to play at 2x or full-screen.

"It will end up grainy, and blurry, etc."

That I doubt . There are some good tools that resample and recalculate the whole image, even if you have a 15 FPS rate you can get it to 25 or 30 with some kind of morphing.

ripken204,

Look here on www.videohelp.com, there are tools there, for free or you can test them for 30 days.

I'm not sure I understand your question. You say you want to increase video "resoultion" without "loosing" a lot of "resouliton." Hmmm...

There's no way to interpolate video to a larger size without a severe reduction in quality. Doing so would increase the bitrate of the video stream (putting more strain on the hardware and software to play it) and you would need to re-compress a compressed video stream further reducing audio and video quality.

Just watch it in full-screen mode.

If you really want to (which you'll probably do anyways) you could try Adobe Premiere or the myriad of other expensive video editing tools.

You can do that morphing and so on, but its not really of use to do it.

He probably wants to raise the resolution of the video - which is easily done by your player.

This topic, is something like the video equivalent of raising your 128 kbps MP3 audio file to 320 kbps. Its do-able, but ZERO gain from it - instead you might even see an adverse quality variance from the original because of the processing.

Hoping this will save some of your time!

There's a difference between scaling the video image up and increasing the FPS. In either case the computer is still guessing what goes where and you're still increasing the bitrate without a tangible increase in quality. And, unless you want to watch multi-gigabyte uncompressed AVI files, all this has to be codec'd again.

Just watch them in any modern media player and press Shift+Enter.

Okay, so... when I take my JPEG image I can´t make it better? Right, did it before... But hey, what do I know about computer graphics .

Edit: And MPEG is the same as JPEG, only with motion .

@ Jeremy,

do I have to come over to Canada? ... Not all people use a computer to play Video. I use my Home-DVD player for that, and I think ripken204 would like that too.

Edit: you edited your post...

[raskren]

No, you can't make a JPG image "better" while keeping it a JPG. That is mathematically impossible.

P.s. The matte color on your avatar is wrong, graphics master.

[puntoMX]

Thanx, going to change it later...

But beleve me... (and I don´t know any thing about computer graphiscs, I´m telling you )

Edit: MPEG-2 was finalized in 1994, so more then 10 years they didn´t have any filters that can make the image look better?

I edited my response because I feel I was too harsh. I'm sorry.
