  • COMPRESSOR vs. MEDIA MANAGER for upconverting SD to HD?

    Posted by Jason O’hara on January 24, 2010 at 4:35 pm

    Will there be any quality difference in these 2 methods for converting SD/720×480/29.97 to ProRes422/1440×1080/60i?

    by default, both of these methods produce new 1440×1080/60i clips with the SD scaled to 225%, ie. to fit the frame top to bottom, but with black bars filling the left and ride side of the HD frame – what do I need to to do to scale the SD by ~306% ie. To crop itself at top and bottom and and fill the entire HD frame?

    Yes. The one you scale to a larger size will look worse. (They’ll both look pretty crap actually)
