re-encode standard VCD to higher bitrate

[thai_tx]

Hi,
I wonder if it would help to re-encode the standard vcd file (1150 b/s) to a higher bitrate say 2000 b/s with TMPGEnc. Do you get a better video? I want to clarify that this is a conversion from 1150 VCD file to 2000 b/s XVCD file. I try it once and it does not look any better than the original vcd. Is there any conversion to enhance a standard VCD file?

Nope, what is gone is gone (quility that is)

you would need to reencode from your source, not from the VCD.
every time you encode, you'll lose quality
