    I have a vhs screener in vcd format the quality is good bu blocky at times. If i was to reencode the files to say dvd mpegs would it improve the blocks or am i just being a dick? Would i stay the same as the source?? Thanks guys.

    You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear...you can't polish a turd...junk in, junk out. We all wish you could, but you can't.
    As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."

    don't be a dick
    you would be incredibly lucky to reencode a crap source and keep the same quality. if you think it's blocky now...try to reencode a small section and see what you get back.
    what are you askin' me for...
    I'm an idiot!
