Hi,
Compressor does quite a good job upconverting, if you turn frame controls on and tweaks it a bit.Do a few tests on your own.
Some combinations gave me a white frame…there are many tutorials out there:

MPEG2 is often full of compression artifacts which just get worse when you blow the frame up. FCP doesn’t scale as nicely as Compressor so you will get a small gain with that but the limiting factor is the source material.
I sometimes use Video Purifier to clean and scale up, but it is always a trade off between MPEG artifacts and softening or smearing the picture. Pigs ear to silk purse is still a dream

Hi,
What settings did you use in Compressor?
Try anti aliasing off and detail level @ 30 or 40
With progressiv output.detail at 100 gives a hard image…
