- 1280x720 (720p) is normal HD,

Community Answer

You can't really improve the quality of a video once it exists. Depending on what exactly the problem is, some small modifications can possibly be made, but most likely it's just going to be as it is.

Warnings

Take caution for video converters that reduce the quality of your video.

Thanks!
