Well I am doing a special big screening. Is there any way I can make the image bigger than resize it without loosing resolution? For example, a projector can make an SD DVD look pretty big and still pretty good with no noticeable resolution loss. That's a totally different form of sizing but can a computer make something bigger without changing resolution?
Plus I don't really notice the difference between 480p and 1080p on an HDTV unless I really look. If I look for like 10 seconds on each, then I notice. But if the shot that is cropped is only like three seconds, then cut's to a new 1080p shot. I can't tell, even if it's been zoomed in 30%. Is that just me, or will general audiences know? It's only in two shots so far, I've had to zoom in. One about 30%, one about more possibly. A good example probably is a widescreen DVD like say Ben Hur, with a really wide aspect ratio, VS. a full screen release. About 30% or more will be cropped out, but if you watch the full screen version on a 1080p HDTV, you don't notice too much difference for a few brief seconds.
Does this mean that a lot of features shot in 1080p though, release at lower number of pixels like 720p for most DVDs cause of the cropped shots?
