No. The Xbox360 does not upconvert.

With the new XBox 360 upgrade from MS that is downloaded when you go on XBox Live, the system will now upconvert dvd's to your sets native resolution, either 720p or 1080i if your using a VGA cable and an HD set
I know the hd dvd add on does upconvert dvds also.

Hey elmo,

Is there a way I could get that divx file from you?
I could mail you a blank cd/dvd.
Just let me know or pm details.



The movie is 1.85 matted, and the image quality is about the same as an LD, only with grey letterboxing. However, as I said, INHD had some major hiccups during the broadcast so there are a lot of video and sound interruptions, which was why I was telling you that your LD is actually best. What you have is an open matte, not pan and scan transfer, an it has the benefit of lacking the constant video and audio problems mine does. If you really want the divx (which I don't have anymore), try to get it reseeded on KG.

I was only going to use it as a reference with the colors and not as a conversion.
So this broadcast was just a pan and scan widescreen?
I've got my LD captured 720 x 480 and might tinker around with doing a panorama version (as show in general forum) as well as keeping the 4:3

Thanks for the screencap

For some reason that torrent isn't working for me.


Which is why at the bottom there are two links where you can download the torrent as well.

Sometimes MySpleen is glitchy with torrents, so DJ put the links at the bottom.

This is what you mean, right?

Yeah that is what I meant. The torrent link on the top of myspleen wasn't working. I got the rapidshare rar link to work.
Thanks

Hey Elmo,

Do you still have the hd files for the movie? Or do you just have the divx?
Would it be possible to get the divx or hd files from you?



I have neither. What I do have is a downconverted DVD from HD via s-video on a DVD-r. So I can offer VOB files (with grey letterboxing), an the image looks like a high level LD. Unless the matted image is most important to you, it probably is just worth holding onto your LD. Plus, the original broadcast by INHD had a lot of digital hiccups, so your copy is best.

So the movie is in widescreen format? I would still like to get a copy of it from you.
