i dragged it out of the camera folder, format was .mpg, size of file was between 10000 and 15000 kb and it was a bhangra video about 12 mins long
Can't do anything about that. What the MP of your camera? You may be potentially be able to change the settings on the camera to get a higher quality video (and larger file size). 15 MB for a 12 minute video is PATHETIC and it's gonna be pretty low resolution.
You can't go from low resolution to high resolution but you can go from high resolution to low resolution. (Common Sense) You may be able to alter things like brightness/contrast/sharpness to make things more visible, but hell, it's not gonna improve significantly at all.
Get a better camera or change those settings. Also be careful when you convert file types. For example, when I take a video off a video camera, a 12 minute video may start out a 2 GB and then I convert it down to a smaller size.
