How to enlarge the video size for compressed video file formats

media playervideovideo conversion

I have movie files of format *.mpg. When I try to play these files with my DVD player, in TV the picture size shows up very small compared to TV size, the picture is aligned in the center with size of some 6 X 7 inches.. This is certain I guess, because TV knows to display pixel ration that is defined it cannot maximize the size by itself.. while if I play it in desktop .. in some media players like vlc, kodec player.. I can go with full screen .. coz these software some how know to maximize with undefined pixels too ..

Now what I need is to convert this movie file such a way that .. it appears full screen in my TV .. (it may not be a clear picture though)

I tried .. xilisoft video converter.. I set the maximum video size the maximum that is possible. but the video size on my television appears almost same ..

Its not the problem with either the converter or television, but its with the downloaded file .. which is compressed version, has low pixel definition..
How to increase the pixel ratio?
any software exist as such??

No way to solve the problem. You can't make the file have more information than it has.
You can try to work around the issue. Couldn't you try to make say vlc work in full-screen on TV? I don't know how your TV is set up, but it should be enough to just drag the VLC window over to the TV and play the movie, right click on the video and select video->full screen.

It should scale the video across the TV's screen. There will be degradation of quality, but it should be full screen.
