i downloaded this low quality video that you could only see good if you watch it small screen?

Question

its still a little blury in small screen but i want to watch it in full screen where i barely can't see anything. is there a way to make this video i got from youtube in high quality. note it is a flash file i had to download it as .flv

Answer 1

You cannot increase the quality of low quality videos, the data isn't there. You can decrease it, but not increase it.

Answer 2

Most of the videos on YouTube are of poor quality because flv compress them in small files to minimize the download time.



I use the flv player to watch them. When the quality is OK... I can increase the screen to 200%.



You also need a fast computer to play them. If you have a computer which is less than 2Ghz... you won't be able to increase the screen to 200%.



Once you compress anything... like a picture in jpg... a song in MP3... or a video in flv... you lose the quality and cannot get it back.



The only compressed files which seem not to lose their quality are the .avi files.

Answer 3

u cant make it better, the only problem is the Pixel of the video, it was taken like that and it stays that way, if u try to make it bigger the screen will get blurry due to the pixels

Answer 4

are you watching it with Miro,VLC or FL player and NOT windows media player?
