How to convert low quality video to HD?

[FAHIM_PC]

I have downloaded this film from vimeo and the quality is only 360p. I then used VLC media player to convert the video to 720p HD, after 1 hour of waiting the conversion process has finished but there is no change in quality of the video and also no sound after converting it. Is there any software I can use or programme which can allow me to do this successfully?

Do you mean there's no change in the *quality* of your video or no change in the *resolution* of your video?

No change in quality.

No change in quality.

There shouldn't be then. The goal of upscaling is to *maintain* the quality for the same video, not actually improve the quality. The sound is a different issue, but with a software thing like this, it could be one of a large number of settings issues.

You cannot get better quality video from low-quality recording (except in spy movies)... There is no reason to "upscale" your video - you will not get better picture, only larger file, and (probably) problems with sound sync.

All this aside - Vimeo videos are rarely licensed for downloading, or re-mastering.
