'hi,

I am looking to use some small video files (have permission from
author but originals have been lost) on a large projector however the
original streaming (?) is such that once blown up, the images are not
clear.
Is there a way that the original file file can be modified / changed
so I can use on a large screen without losing clarity?

I hope it is clear, and apologies for re-posting

Thanks

Telling us you have "video files," unfortunately, tells us nothing. What
format? Are they dupes? Are they on tape? Digitized? Analog? What kind
of projector? How big?

You could have multiple problems depending on the type of video file.

They may be lower resolution than desired. That could possibly be
corrected by loading each frame in a photo editing application and
resizing the picture. How good that is going to be will depend somewhat
on the content.

You will get a better answer if you post the file extension
(avi,mpeg,wmv etc) and possibly the results of using GSPOT utility.
(Gspot is a free download which gives you info on the codecs used)

You say 'original streaming', which perhaps may lead us to think that
you are taking heavily compressed, small sized files. If so, the short
answer is that there is not alot that can be done. There is no way to
put back what you lose during a compression process.
