whoever told you that you can get better PQ by transfering them to BD is an idiot. you can't extrapolate 1080p from a 480p source.
an upconverting DVD player is about the best you'll get from a DVD, and even that isn't actually improving the PQ either, its more of a series of filters and algorithms to make pixelation and compression artifacts less noticable on an HDTV. not to mention the hurdles of re-authoring and re-encoding the discs yourself.
you'll have to do what everyone else does: either be happy with DVD PQ or rebuy the movies in HD when available.
