Hi everyone,
I could use your suggestions and advice on a project I'm planning. I want to upscale a DVD video to 720p. What are the best tools and techniques you've found for getting the highest quality results?

Most Blu-ray players upscale DVD's pretty well.

I'm working on a project of my own. Just using the upscaling on a blu-ray player won't work.

I found some interesting and useful techniques on my own, though.

Are you familiar with avisynth scripts?

If you extract the video file from the DVD to a single mpeg2 file, and then use for example Megui's file indexer, this script will make a quite good upscale:

Mpeg2Source("DVD.d2v")

nnedi2_rpow2(rfactor=2, cshift="spline64resize", fwidth=1280, fheight=720)

(You will need the avisynth plugin nnedi2 to do this)

You can also try getting nnedi3 and replacing nnedi2 with that in the script and see which result looks best.

Thanks. I've been working with avisynth and virtualdub to try and get the best possible results. I have the nnedi2 and nnedi3 plugins. I'll try that script and see how it looks.
