Well, now I see most HD-DVD fans stating that upconverted players are as good as or almost as good as HDM. Let's see if that is true?
On DVD's you have the following problems:
Macro blocking, faded colour, edge enhancement, anamorphic changing of the movie to fit 16x9 screens, low bit rate audio with lossey codecs that do not accruately represent the original sound track. Oh I could go on but lets just deal with these as none of these should be or are present on a HDM product that is properly done.
When you upconvert you get rid of none of the problems, you just make them bigger. Well, that's it for me. I am sure there are others here who would be able to come in here with superior knowledge and explain the whole SD is not as good as HD even with upconverting.
