even if you convert it to higher resolution, if you have a pre-converted resolution, that will NOT make the video more clearer because it is already ripped off from the original video. Unless you convert the original video source yourself (i.e. bluray/dvd) , you won't get any clearer than that. it's like zooming the picture from the video itself and will not make it clearer. That's what I understand. It's like converting a 2megapixel picture to a 3megapixel photo (just like what other china cellphones do, tagging their brands as 5 megapixelx when in fact they only have VGA lenses etc., I forgot the term for that but they do just 'zoom' the contents of it.) IMHO ;-)
