Is there an app/way that upconverts video like the newer DVD players do? I want to rip DVDs into the Mac for viewing on a HDTV.

Let's start with once they are converted/ripped what will you be using to watch them with on your HDTV?

New "upconverting" DVD players can now be had for under thirty dollars at some stores (unless you're talking Blu-Ray).
Unclear on reasons for spending loads of time and use of computing resources to rip MPEG-2 from a DVD and then "up convert"/re-encode in software with no true gain in resolution or quality (just generate extra pixels to fill the screen). |

I agree. Just get a player that upconverts. Connect to your TV, pop in the DVD you want to see and press play. Instant gratification--no fuss. I have one.

Terry-
I will watch with Front Row, or whatever I need to get the job done. Chuck, Donna- The idea was to get my collection on a HDD for home as well as travel use- convenience. Chuck, are you saying that without "upconversion" the HDTV screen won't fill properly? - One Nation Under A Groove - |
