This is a test to see if a Sony Vegas custom rendering may be capable of up-converting/scaling an original 576*432 avi file to 1280*720 HD.

Both videos are shown side-by-side.

Sorry for them being slightly out of sync, but it ought to be enough to see if there is a difference in quality.

Watch in HD for best represntation of the differences

  • Boris CC7 has a plug in for sony vegas to uprez.

  • @slapshot1x  Thank you. I will have to check into that, as well as perhaps trying After Effects, though I'm still more a fan of Vegas.

  • technically both are sony upscale rendering since this video is 720p

  • @SquirlKiller What I had actually done was "upscale" the one on the right to 720 in Vegas. Then I tried to sync it up to the original video using 2 HD capable media players. Finally doing a screen capture @ 720. so the quality of the one on the left is what was viewed. I'm sure there was a better way, but its what I had came up with at the time.

  • I believe I mentioned that this was a test to see if a particular "upscaling" method produced better output than simply expanding the original video.

    and as I stated in the annotations (you may have had them turned off)... my results were that the end results were clearly not of HD quality, however... the benefit of better color retention seemed to be a positive outcome of the process.

    *I am still looking for a good upscaling method.

see all

  • yeah it just looks like you upped the contrast and darkened it... actual upscaling involves random pixel generation and crap like that ur just adjusting levels

  • Sony Vegas doesn't have any upscaling methods unfortunately, while Premiere, FCP and After Effects all have some upscaling plugins that you must buy.

    Something like Cyberlink PowerDirector and VReveal have their own upscalers.

  • No difference

  • the difference is only that the picture on the right has better black level
