Question

Answer 1

This is what compression does. Once compressed, the quality cannot be retrieved. The only way to get "excellent quality" full screen is to use a less compressed version of the same clip.

The same thing happens with still photos... when you first get the image out of a camera - let's say it is 8 megapixels and uses multiple megabytes of space - it looks great full screen, too. But you want to send it and that takes too long to email, so you save it so it is a small jpeg that takes 20kbytes... looks great as a 1" square picture - but now when you go full screen, it is terrible - and there is no way to recover unless you can get to the original multi-megapixel picture...
