Best Upscaled DVDs - Blu-ray Forum

jeffthe13th · 11-26-2007, 02:07 AM

Are there any DVD's that you own that you are particularly impressed with when upscaling them?
A few titles that I've noticed look really good are:
-ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 (the new version with Ethan Hawke)
-JOY RIDE
-MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III

I haven't watched many of my DVD's upscaled yet, but thought this would make an interesting thread...

I noticed the remastered original star wars triliogy looked good upscaled.

SavagePotato · 11-26-2007, 02:09 AM

Star wars episode 3 upscales very very well, as did transformers.

Most modern dvd's are pretty good.

Some older ones like platoon have left alot to be desired.

My neice was watching The Incredibles today and I was like, 'Is all this $30 a movie worth it?' It looked pretty good.

I watched Termintor 2 on PS3 and it was surprisingly good PQ to me

Saw a few minutes of Borat upscaled on the PS3.

It really improve the sexy time with Pamela Anderson.

NICE!

Many of the newer dvd's (less than 3 years old) that are double-layered and have little to no special features on the same disc look great.
Most single layered and double-sided discs look bad though.

I watched Transformers upscaled and it looked better than the HD-DVD version.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK looked really good upscaled. This is probably the best quality we're gonna get of INDIANA JONES for a while since Paramount hasn't turned BLU yet. Hopefully they get their shiznit together before KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL hits home video.

at least there's a nice teaser for just a few seconds in Chicken Litte on BD. it looked good.

I second that!! I wouldnt be dissapointed if it was a little better with the BD version. still worth adding to my Pixar collection

Just don't compare animation to regular movies. There is nowhere near the amount of detail there, so it's not a good way to gauge quality differences.

?!?! I'm going to have to go spend a little more quality time with the Chicken...

Speaking of previews on Disney BDs: I can't recall if it was Cars or Ratatouille (and it probably doesn't matter because it's surely the same future-Disney-BD teaser on both), but I saw a very tiny snippet of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" framed considerably wider than Fantasia's original aspect ratio. Anyone else catch it? That had to have something to do with maintaining continuity in the teaser, right? I mean, they can't possibly be creating a widescreen presentation, can they?

There is one that really sticks in my mind when upscaled to 1080p with a really effective HTPC:

I, Robot.

That can look better than poor HD on a poor TV.

team america looks good upscaled
