How to Upscale DVD to HD
To upscale the quality of a DVD image, movie watchers must use a device that adds pixels to the image and attempts to mimic what the image would look like at a higher definition. Upscaling DVD players perform this service and send the upscaled image to the user's HDTV. Media viewing applications such as Quicktime, VLC and iTunes also perform this task automatically and upscale the image at the computer's maximum resolution settings.
