I have a couple of deinterlaced ProRes videos that I encoded using Hybrid, sourced from Video8 tapes initially captured in VirtualDub. I'm looking to further process these ProRes files with Hybrid to share them with others in an h.264 encode.
Given that my input resolution is 720x480, I'm removing 20 pixels horizontally and 8 pixels vertically to account for headswitch and overscan, which brings the resolution down to 700x472 after cropping. I would then be resizing it to a target resolution of 704x480 for a proper 4:3 aspect ratio using the "Picture Resize" setting.
Here's my dilemma: Does resizing "up" from 700x472 to 704x480 technically degrade the video quality? Or would it be better to upscale it back to 704x480 instead? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. I attached a screenshot to show what i am attempting to do.
