  How to Enhance a DVD still shot to a viewable picture

  Posted by Shelly0711 on February 1, 2006 at 3:31 pm

  Hello, I wanted to see if anyone can help us- we had a theft in our home last week & thankfully a neighbor caught the suspects on video, however its grainy & we are unable to get a clear pic of their faces- is there any software out there that can help or does anyone have any suggestions. We really appreciate any & all help!
  Thanks in advance,

  Shelly 🙂

  Not really. You could take the frame into to photoshop and enhance it, maybe get rid of some of the grain, but essentially your dealing with video with a very poor resolution – if it’s DV, 720×480, 72dpi. Add to that whatever camera shake your neighbor may have had, and it doesn’t look promising.

  On occaison I have FBI guys show up asking if I can do something with surveillance tape. Usually, it’s not much…
