Video compression

I have a question: I have some video that has been compressed to MPEG-1 standard video, and I am wantng to put it onto DVD format. What ideas do you guys have of making the video as smooth looking as possible considering the format that the source video has been saved in? I know rerendering to MPEG 2 will not help the pixeling, blocky look of MPEG 1, but any blurring, masks, etc you can think of would be great!! Thanks!

Try a Gaussian blur of .002 and SuperSampling of 4. It will take a log time to render (4x longer) but the results should look better. Don’t expect miracles but its worth a try.

I have found the Gausian Blur and SuperSampling. Thanks alot. I will render this and see how it looks! Thanks!

Change the aspect ratio as well, this goes a long way to rebuilding the frame.

What's your settings on the mpeg-1? I've renederd mpeg-1 files at DVD quality many times (720x480, 8mbs, 224kps audio, etc).

So, if you rendered the mpeg-1 to a good quality, you could probley use TMPGenc & wouldn't loose much quality.
