can my older content, 720* footage, be remastered into HD?

Much of the remastering that Hollywood does is based on there being a higher quality original available (shot on film but released on DVD, filmed in 1080 video but released on 720x480, etc). The remastering is recovering this detail that is available but not included on the original consumer product.
You can certainly bring 720*480 video in to a video editing program and export it to an HD frame size. The quality should probably be better than if you had a TV zoom the original footage (due to the better enlargement algorithms in the video editor). The quality obviously won't be as good as real HD.
