converting regular video to high definition video

Is there a way to convert regular video to high definition video?

 

Sure. Resize it and make it larger.

 

if you have any prosumer video editing system, like premiere, just change the composition settings to HD then stretch the corners of the video to the edges of the HD video space

 

won't be pretty

 

Well, I am a newbie and don't quite understand all of this but if it won't turn out nice what's the point. Thanks,

 

yea, hd is about 4-6 times as many pixels, so one 640x480 pixel will be 4 pixels on a hd screen

also, i dont think you can do this unless you have prosumer software, but im not sure

a comparison would be Hi8 tapes to mini DV in quality

 

Thanks. I am going to research it further though and find out about prosumer software. Let me know if you hear of another way. Thanks again

 

research no further.
upscaling anything would won't make it more higher fidelity.
what you need is a HD source.

if resize, you might as well resize it on playback.

 

get a dvd player that upscales itself, they work great!

(until blu ray arrives anyway)
