Default movies looking terrible

When playing movies on my 24in asus they look terrible and are very pixelized. The movies or .avi files downloaded. Is there a way to upscale the movies or fix this?

What's the resolution of the movies?

If you downloaded them, they're most likely SD at best. You really need 720p movies or better to get a crisp viewing on a decent sized PC LCD.

That shouldn't look TOO terrible.

What movie player you using? I strongly recommend Media Player Classic Home Cinema. ( http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/ )

There is a visible difference when comparing it (depending on the codec...) to other movie players.

Could also be poorly encoded movies.

Are they cam by chance? Is this with multiple movies from multiple locations?

I'd check reviews/comments on them and see what others say.
