With my own settings...yes. I do that quite a bit.

Nothing new on this process.
Some points are unnecessary, like when chosing Pixels aspect.
When upscaling to 1920x1080, you can chose Square, but you can also check "Default for size" (1920x1080 is always squared), or even you can chose nothing. The movie will always be displayed as squared pixels, unless other thing is specified.

...and does it really improve the quality?

[Alexander Kallas] "..and does it really improve the quality?"
The only thing can improve the quality in that workflow, is using the best upscaling filter in Compressor, which is better than the default FC filter.

Interesting thread.

I don't have anything to add technically, just noting that the Larry Jordan article and the original question seem to address some issues that I have been trying to solve. And so far, I think my questions have just made me come across like a nutcase trying to do something impossible.

Does this technique with Compressor need to be done with the entire source file, or can it be done simply with a segment in an FCP timeline?

This technique is done to QT files. And if you only want part of that QT file done, you can set IN and OUT points in Compressor.

And no, this won't improve the quality of the footage, it will just blow up SD to HD and make it look....less bad.

Thanks.

That's all I've wanted. I know I can't turn SD into something originally shot HD. I just want to do everything in my power to get the quality as high (less crappy) as possible.
