I have some very low resolution footage (256x192, 4:3). I stretch it using pan/crop but I keep the aspect ratio. The end result is a 1280x720 with that footage in the middle and personalized side bars to compensate. I'm sure you guys are familiar with that kind of video. I already have the project settings set for best rendering quality, good bitrates, deblocking, two pass, high profile, etc... I'm wondering if Vegas will use a non-optimal stretching for that footage by default. Can I choose how much post-processing will be done for that stretching and/or which algorithm will be used? Maybe there are filters out there to help with that.

P.s: Those are game recordings btw, in case it is important.

Not really, no. The best scaling still duplicates pixels and can't be improved much.

There's things like these but they don't do much IMO.

Think about how difficult it would be to go into each image that makes up a video and essentially re-draw the content in more detail - not an easy task.

Your best bet for the future is to record the original in the desired end resolution or higher and process accordingly. Fraps does great game-related video recording.
