[quote="Xorcist [USA]":dc069]This is what I am looking into.

Samsung Hi-Def Conversion DVD Player (DVD-HD860)

Upconverts regular DVDs to hi-def: With a regular DVD player, video playback is standard definition, not high definition. That's a problem if you have an HDTV because you can't watch movies in hi-def. This HD conversion DVD player solves that problem. It takes ordinary-definition DVDs and "upconverts" the video to high-definition quality (720p or 1080i), so you can take full advantage of your HDTV.

Description from Circuit City.

I am just curious about the quality of an upscaled dvd.

I have been looking around on that site Mr. Glass. Hell of alot of info there.

But mixed reviews on upscaling dvd players.[/quote:dc069]
I know nothing about them, but clearly you cant take a regular DVD and turn it into HD quality, you can turn it into HD format, but I dont see that as any different than taking a 96kbs mp3 and re-ripping it at 320kbps... it is now technically 320kbs, but it will sound no different than the original 96kbs. I dont really understand the concept of it at all.
