1080p tapes converted to 480p question I have some 1080p video tapes that when converted were scaled down to 480p. The company I paid to do the conversion threw away the tapes. Is there any way to get back some of the quality? I'm willing to pay whatever it takes if it is possible. Thanks for your help.
Sadly, no.
As  Michael commented, to get to lower resolution, all that higher resolution data has been discarded. There is nowhere to get it back from.
