Hi guys!

Sorry if this subject has been covered many times before, but I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to some of the things discussed here.

I've transferred a friend's VHS of himself in a play from many years ago using my Pinnacle gadget I got from PC world. I've created a "DVD quality" mpeg and I just wondered if it was possible to 'upscale' the picture quality of the mpeg to improve on it before I burn it to DVD for him. I know how transcoding works but I'm not sure if this would help here. Basically, my aim is to improve the captured image in any way possible before I make a DVD for him.

I have Adobe Premiere plus a couple of other programs including DVD Shrink and others.

Thanks for any help.

You could try filtering but since its mpeg you would have to convert to avi and loose quality in order to process the file. However if you captured as an AVI you could filter that with less loss. This is not upscaling however but restoration or filtering.

Hi,

have you thought about making the dvd and then playing it on an upconverting dvd player ?

The guy I'm making it for doesn't have the newest technology to do that I'm afraid.

There's really no way to upconvert this without loss or interpolation, which would degrade the image rather than enhance it.

The output quality will only be as good (never better) than the source image (without painstaking and expensive editing). VHS is designed to play on NTSC. You are probably better off leaving it the way that it is.

I couldn't get it to export with Premiere 2.0 for some strange reason or Encore. I used DVD shrink to edit into 4 sections I can get it into Adobe Encore no problem now.
