Low Cost SD to HD digital conversion

Assuming your master video file is at 720x 576 pixel size. You can do it cheaply using Adobe After Effects with a 30 day trial version.

In Adobe After effect make a 'New composition' 
(Press Command+ N in mac or Control+N in windows) 
Click to open the screenshot in new tab
Now create comp with the custom preferences of 1280x720 (Width x Height) and set the right frame rate and then 'Import' the video in after effects.



Now drag & drop the the video clip in the timeline or in the 'comp' in the browser window.


Right click on the visible clip and go through the pop up menu to Transform and click on fit to comp (Alt+Command+F in mac or Alt+Control+F in windows)



Now the Adobe after effects will automatically resize the canvas.

Now select the clip in source comp windows besides the time line and go to composition in the menu and select Add to Render (^+Command+M in mac or ^+Control+M in windows)



Now a render window will open in the timeline window 

Go to Output module and set your encoding setting and then go to 'Output to' and set the destination for the output.



Even though this is a low cost remedy process to upscale a video there is a marginal quality loss for which you may need to set the contrast and brightness. The higher you scale lets say 1920 x 1080 P there will be some kind of pixel stretching.
