I just bought a Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD player. The HD-DVD playback was pretty much what I expected but the upconversion of standard DVD's blew me away.
My standard DVD's look 90% as good as the HD content from my STB. This is really way beyond what I expected.
I thought I saw a post somewhere about upconverting DVD's with FFD Show. Is it possible to upconvert my tv recordings with FFD? My GBPVR rig is 2.4 GHZ and should have the horsepower.
This would really be the best of both worlds. I noticed that since I got an HD TV I have been watching my recordings less, prefering to watch whatever is on one of the 7 HD channels I get.
I'm assuming that if it is possible I would need a new video card since my card has only S-video and composite out.
Is anyone doing this?
