Upscaling DVD software?

I missed your late edit above :)

media player classic. using ffdshow is as easy as ticking the 'raw video' check box when installing. also yes, it does play dvd's straight from the disk. its easy, its free. if you get stuck, there are loads of guieds around such as this one: http://www.tweaksrus.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7034&pid=82329&st=20&#entry82329.

Okay, thank you. Well I can tell you that doing that doesn't work on my machine as I've already tried MPC before. The only way I could get it to work was running decrypted vobs on their own which is useless. It could be due to conflicting codecs on my machine (WinDVD is also installed for example) or god knows, but for me, it certainly isn't as simple as that. Hence this thread, wondering if there was an easy way of making it work. It seems then that there isn't, and my only option is to keep trying to get ffdshow working...
 
i cant help you if you are not going to try this now. it could well be a conflict with windvd. have you tried uninstalling that?

That is not what is commonly understood as 'upscaling', even if technically it could be called such. The form of upscaling you are talking about is rubbish :)

I wouldn't say that anything is "commonly" understood as upscaling - and there is technically, aesthetically, morally and ethically no difference between any of the "forms of upscaling" that you're talking about. FFDShow does a better job (at least, enthusiasts tell me this, I have never been able to notice a difference, but I accept that others notice more than me).

The question you should have been asking is "is there an easy solution that has upscaling and image processing capabilities that are equivalent to those provided by FFDShow" - not "does it upscale?", which doesn't make a jot of sense. If you're viewing a DVD image on a display with a resolution of above DVD resolution, then something is upscaling.

No I haven't :) I think what I should do at some point is try it all again, on a clean install of Windows, to rule out other conflicts :)

(I will remove WinDVD first but if that doesn't work, I mean.)
 
I doubt a clean install of Windows is required.

But it is probably worth removing any DVD playback software and 3rd party codec packs (klite, nemo etc) before starting.
