What amazes me is that video is shot with a P&S at 640x480, then I made that video in Vegas and rendered it at 1280x720. The output video came out looking like a HD video.

Does Vegas have some special upsamplers ?

Here are the stats of the video from the P&S

it's upscaled and it's not even close to look like HD. also the deinterlacing method used is ugly (blend).

I think the blending is the conversion from 30fps to 25fps.

"not even close" to HD is right, though AVIsynth can do useful upscaling if needed.

Cheers,

if that's the case then it's even worse...
