I'm going to submit two videos to this con - problem is, both were made in smaller resolution, and need to be scaled up. When I full screen them, they look fine, but when I try to actually upscale them, I've been getting some problems. I understand that this'll hurt my chances of getting them in, but since you mentioned you do conversions for videos, would upscaling these be included in that sort of thing?

Not to increase your work load or anything. That said, if anyone can point me in the direction of how to fix this myself, I'll goddamn try again - but I've tried looking around, and haven't found anything that sounds like my problem. The pixels look all wiggly when I try to export these at higher resolution.

Export at the normal resolution then upscale on the h264 encode (preferably using AviSynth and lightly filtering the video).

The rules explicitly state that he won't upscale entries, the assumption being if you chose to submit it like that, that's how you want it to be seen.
