Can you Up-Convert SD footage to HD in Compressor? Question in 2 parts

Hi guys, this may sound silly but I have to ask if this is possible.
My question is in 2 parts!
1. I have SD Footage, shot with XL2 at 60i and I am trying to achieve best picture quality to burn in DVDSP.
Can I up-convert it to HD in Compressor 3? If so, which preset would I use?
2. If it is possible to up-convert SD footage to HD,
Can you still burn the up-converted HD video on a regular SD DVD in DVDSP if it fits on a single or dual layer disc?
Thank you,
Z

For starters, you can't make SD turn into HD. It's just not possible. Something was shot at a resolution of 720x480 which means it will never become 1280x720 or 1920x1280. That being said, there are hardware solutions called line doublers which can upscale for you, but those are expensive and not really what you even asked about so nevermind. Upscaling DVD players add pixels by interpolating info in between real pixels and adding what it think might go there. After this, filters are added to blend and soften and then some sharpening is added. I have seen DVD players that do a really nice job of this and others that don't.
Anyway, you can blow up your footage in compressor but not upscale as far as I know. The best quality footage however is going to be 720x480 since that is your source. This is especially true if you are playing back on an SD TV which only has a resolution of 720x480.
Did that help? I think I rambled a little.

  • Can you capture desktop/monitor footage with Premiere CC?

    I'm looking to put together some animation tutorials/making of kind of videos and want to record my digital process as I work.  To my knowledge Premiere can't do this but I noticed while researching that some editing software does so I figured it'd be worth checking since I already have Premiere CC anyway.  I dug around the program a bit and I'm not seeing anything but I'm not entirely sure I'd spot the options for it if it does.
    Thanks

  • Can you help me with an OS 9 OSX Networking question?

    Hi, I'm hoping that this would be the right forum for this question.
    Deal is this... I have an entire archive of material on a Beige G3 with
    OS 8.6 - much of the material in files and so forth require staying in
    that Legacy environment to access stuff that can only be retrieved on
    older Native OS 8.6/9 apps.
    Is there a way, that I can access this computer from an OSX machine via a
    network? I know this may be a radical cross-platform situation but it
    would eliminate alot of headaches if i could figure out a way to create
    either a Remote Desktop, or Networked set-up where I can access the OS 8.6
    machine from one of our OSX (10.4.11) laptops or desktops.
    Any advice on the simplest/easiest way to set this up? The networks do all
    share a router for internet access, so they are physically connected via
    ethernet - that much is in place. If anyone's got a primer on how to make
    this configuration happen on the older machine, I'd be most grateful as I
    need to get a bunch of stuff off of there for a project and am currently
    having to shuttle things via old SCSI-port zip drives to a newer machine...
    (The Beige doesn't recognize USB or FW PCI cards -tho i have em installed...)
    THANK YOU!
    Mike

    Hi, I understand what you mean. The Shareway app as i understand it, is only designed to run on the older OS as the 'host' - per se. When I tried entering the "remote" computers' username/pw on it, it did not recognize it. Is there a version of Shareway that would go on the newer OSX computer? In any event, I was able to get an OSX machine to read the OS 8 machine - by using the IP Server address entry and the "Connect to Server" option for File Sharing from OSX to OS 8/9.... Problem I now have is, as per other post - i wanted to simply open Filemaker on the older OS 8.6 machine from a newer machine to enter some data.
    When I try that, the message is that A) I must have a newer FM version on my OSX
    machine to open that app - and B) it will convert the file on the OLDER machine
    to the NEWER machine's FM version - which isn't the goal as i still want to maintain my FM 4.1 database as an OS 8.6 file for when I am logging in on that machine.
    Doesn't seem it should have to be this complicated eh? Arrgh.
    Isn't there just a way to access and open docs on an 8.6 machine from another computer and perform tasks/functions "as if" i were logged into OS 8.6 -- would
    that be Remote Desktop? Can i run THAT from OSX to OS 8.6 ?
    Thanks!

  • Converting NTSC footage to PAL with compressor 4

    Hello, Please can some angel help.
    I have PAL and NTSC footage. I want the end output to be PAL.
    I have compressor 4. What settings, step by step do I select to change the NTSC footage to PAL.
    There is info. on the web all relating to old versions of compresor where there seems to have existing a helpful NTSC/DVD setting where compressor made it clear the setting you needed. This is not an option on Compressor 4 so I am hitting a brick wall.
    I would greatly appreciate some advice here.
    Thank you
    Nicola

    What formats are your source files? What format (aside from PAL standard) do you want your output file (s) to be?

  • Yet Another Expressing anger and dissatisfaction over the Cyan situation. How can you ignore so many and not answer a single question about this?

    When I bought my Icon it was advertised as being "8.1 ready." Soon, I was led to believe, I would have Cortana. I was told that there were improvements to the camera that were in the Cyan firmware. As this phone had high spec hardware and was being called the Windows "flagship phone" on Verizon, I had no reason to doubt the update would arrive.
    Not only did it not, as we are all aware, but as months went by and people took to this forum, other Windows forums and Twitter to complain and question, Verizon has never put out a simple clear statement to their customers about what their intentions are and when they might take action. I feel deceived and ignored.
    To not address this in any way when so many are so vocally asking is rude. Quite simply rude.
    Even today the Icon is available online at the Microsoft store and the copy there says that this phone is "Windows Phone 8.1 ready" with an asterisk that leads to the disclaimer that "update availability and timing varies by carrier." It has been four months since this update began rolling out.
    What has led me to post this and lend my voice to the chorus is the articles published in the last day or two saying that Verizon has now changed the status of the update to "under development." Once again, without a single word of explanation or apology. Without a single message to all of their customers who have been asking for information for months. Again, just rude.
    These articles suggest the reason for the delay is Verizon's dissatisfaction with how their apps are working with 8.1. Of course there is no way for me to know if this is true since Verizon will not say anything at all about it. So I might as well believe what the reports say I guess. This of course makes the whole thing so much worse.
    Verizon, are you seriously holding up this thing that all of your customers want so as to make sure the horrible bloatware that no one wants will "work"?! You can't put out the update and then fix your terrible apps yourself like every other app maker? Only so that we can then uninstall them anyway? This is ridiculous and insulting.
    Verizon is always trying to disable phone features to customer's detriment and their profit. I don't doubt that is what this delay is about. Now it is difficult to tether my phone without paying an extra fee even though the feature is built into Windows Phone. Just a way to keep me from using the data that I payed for and that is allotted to me. In the old days you couldn't move pictures off of your phone through the usb cable you had. You had to send them over the network and use data.
    Why not try providing services instead of taking them away and delaying them? Why not treat customers well instead of ignoring their questions? Why not do what is right and allow Microsoft to update their hardware, hardware that we bought after being told that it was 8.1 ready?

    Hi Danny-CoolKID,
    AIM for Mac is not at version 5.9
    It is here http://www.aim.com/getaim/mac/latestmacosx.adp?aolp=0
    It is still at version 4.7 and the pages style has not been changed along with the other AIM pages.
    It does NOT do Audio or Video Chats.
    If you are looking at text only then also consider
    1) Proteus (Site being revamped at present)
    2) AdiumX
    Both these are third party software that can connect to multiple services.
    As iVmichael says there are other crossplatform solutions as well.

  • Can you add People Picker with multiple values to Word Document using Quick Parts?

    Hi all, I've been trying to develop a form in Word that takes a bunch of metadata from the SharePoint library. Most of it works okay, but when I try to add any fields that have been set up to take multiple entries in a people picker, they don't show up
    in the add quick parts list. Any ideas, or is this a limitation?

    Hi NREL,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the people picker column with multiple values was missing in Word Quick Parts.
    This is by design that we are unable to use the fields which is allowed multiple selections.
    As a workaround, you can use a text field(Single line of text) to store the multiple values of the people column. When you create a document, start a workflow to update the text field using the values of the people column, then use the
     text field in Word Quick Parts.
    You can do as the followings:
    Open your library, and create a new column using Single line of text.
    Open your site with SharePoint 2010 Designer, create a workflow based on your library.
    Add the action “Set Field in CurrenItem”, and set it like the screenshot.
    Set the Start Options is “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”.

  • Can you please give me the suggested version #s of working DPS software parts?

    My latest app was already at iTunes before all the upgrade snafus started in January, so I held off on doing upgrades then. I'm starting a new app TODAY and would like to make sure I have the upgrades that are working properly installed. In Jan I was told to only upgrade the Folio Builder. Is that still the case?

  • How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

    How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
    Thanks.

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.
