Upconverting Backups - Blu-ray Forum

I don't know about you, but I have a lot of backups on DVD. These are Discs created from my VHS versions on a Standalone DVD-Recorder. Why wont a Blu-ray player up convert a burnt disc like a boughten disc?

Wait, hold on, my good sir - Boughten?

Why wont they upscale back-ups like they do legit discs?

If you've created them from VHS, then it's because there's nothing there to bring out. Garbage in, Garbage out

You can't make gold out of rust.

Standard DVD sources at 480 lines of horizontal resolution
VHS sources at 240 lines of horizontal resolution

Putting a 240 image on a media that will handle 480 doesn't mean that the 240 image becomes 480. It reamains whatever it's original resolution is.

Ok, what about discs burnt in the computer, like those Anime bootlegs that over-populate ebay.
