PdT Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I have a few clips which I have downloaded from youtube. The quality is horrible, however. Is there any program out there which can improve the video quality? Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpencil Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 You cannot add visual quality once visual data has been lost. Imagine it this way, you have a book with a chapter missing - you could take a guess at what each page in the chapter discusses by knowing what comes before and after but you'd never be able to reconstruct the chapter word for word. It's exactly the same principle trying to increase quality in images after they have been compressed - you can get software which guesses at what data is missing but it's only ever going to interpolate between the data it can work from. With youtube, the data you have left after compression is pretty useless to even interpolate from so you're never going to recover quality.

paganinio Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I watch a lot of TV. the CIA or FBI seems to be able to improve video quality. Las Vegas casinos also have that technology. But I don't believe it works for youtube vids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I watch a lot of TV. the CIA or FBI seems to be able to improve video quality. Las Vegas casinos also have that technology. But I don't believe it works for youtube vids they don't improve video quality. At times they use software to ATTEMPT to guess what pixels would be added in between other ones, but it is very unreliable and does only one frame at a time. This would take forever for a video. They use it for individual frames to attempt to get a better look at people's faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calone Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Guys that provided CIA and many others with that software have created a home version, for mass market. It's called vReveal. Basic version is fully functional and free. I tried it and it's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
