What can be done about it ?

Very little. You have downloaded a low resolution, heavily compressed, low quality source. You want to make it bigger, but any enlarging will simply make the compression artifacts worse. You might try one of the deblocking filters in virtualdub (the latest version can load flv files with a plugin), but mostly they will just make the clip softer and blurry.

There are plenty of programs that can enlarge and convert your clip - SUPER, Media Converter, Media Coder etc - but none of them can put back quality that has long been squeezed out of it. If you really want quality, find a better source than youtube.

You don't have to convert them to be able to watch them on a laptop or any other kind of computer. You can play them using VLC Player.

I also usually use SUPER , i choose to convert to avi container.. and then select "copy stream", and "copy audio".

This usually results in a fine lossless "conversion"

(usually means, flv's can be comrpessed in different codecs, fiddle around with it, aim for lossless conversion)

Super is a conversion/encoding program, not a player. I already told you how you can watch downloaded FLV or MP4 videos.

I'm not sure why you'd expect otherwise. The standard 320x240 FLVs from YouTube are garbage even at 320x240, and look much worse fullscreened. Believe me, they won't look any better, and will probably look worse, after being converted to something else with Super or any other program.

If you're going to download them, at least get the higher quality 480x360 MP4 videos (if one exists). Use KeepVid for downloading the higher quality versions.

The only way to "improve" those flv videos is through heavy filtering.

You need a commercial program, demon's Video Enhancer 1.9.2. That gonna convert your 320x240 source to something better, like 720X480 which is "ok". At the same time you need to use some filters: MSU smart deblocking and another commercial filter, called: Neat Video. Finally, you sharp a bit your video, with a filter called msu smart sharpen.

This is the best you can do.

The MP4 is the higher quality version, if it exists.

Google "Video Enhancer". It pop ups first in the list. There is a trial version AFAIK.

The same combination (video enhancer + neat video + msu smart deblocking/sharpen) improves and the mp4 youtube files.
