Quality will not increase in a conversion, ever.

at best it could stay almost the same.

Quality can only be as good as original source

If re-encoding could increase the quality of a video, they'd just digitize all those old classic films and re-encode them. Presto, like brand new! But...

It doesn't work.

You can't polish a turd (or, more delicately put, you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear). Any improvement is mostly an illusion.

You could polish a turd. You just wouldnt like the results!!

It would still smell like shit and the rag would be useless.
