instant HD?

[poopnoodle]

hi all,

i recently meandered by the red giant software website and saw a product called instant HD (http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/instanthd.html), and although it makes some crazy promises, i was curious about the claims. has anyone used this, or a similar program?

personally i was taught that quality could not get get better than what was actually captured in the camera, and now there is a $99.00 program seeming to claim otherwise. even if it does up-size the footage to HD standards, wouldnt there be problems with the integrity of the image?

but thats just me, i'm not big on the HD scene as of yet, but having a reliable way to get HD would be a nice option, let me know what you know.

thanks,
-brad

for me it worked to small degree... It has settings to uprez to any HD format. However, playing with the demo, I thought it only handled the minimum HD format... Which is better than none at all. But that was my take. I might get it at some point, but like you, i'm not on the HD banc wagon yet. Still pissed I may have to replace all my DVD's with friggin' bluray...
