Upscaling your video
from standard to HD resolution If you have tons of standard resolution
DVDs, you can now enjoy them in high-definition using WinDVD player. This is because
WinDVD can upscale from standard to high-definition resolution using Trimension™
All2HD. Trimension™ All2HD is a software technology that provides high-definition
enhancement from any video source. In this tutorial, we will show you how to upscale
your video using this technology just a few steps. Background
information If you are new to video, here are some helpful information about
the upscaling process. Standard DVD resolution is 720x480 ( 720 horizontal
pixels and 480 vertical pixels displayed on your screen). This resolution is also
referred to as 480i for interlaced scanning or 480p
for progressive scanning. In 480i, the horizontal lines
are scanned and displayed alternately. All odd lines are scanned in one pass,
then followed by all even lines in the next pass. These two fields are then combined
to produce an image. In 480p, the horizontal lines are
scanned and displayed sequentially in a single pass. Progressive scanning produces
higher image quality. When WinDVD upscales your video, it matches the number
of pixels of standard resolution output to the number of pixels of high-definition
output. This is typically 1280x720 (720p) or 1920x1080 (1080i
). Sometimes, high-definition output can also be 1080p -- the
highest HD display format.
To upscale your video from standard
to HD resolution: 1. Open WinDVD 9 and start playing your video. 2.
Click Video and select All2HD to
open the Enhance Video Panel. 
Note:
If the option are not enabled, click 
Setup to open the Setup
dialog box. In the Audio/Video Setup
tab, make sure that Use Hardware Decode Acceleration
is not selected. This allows WinDVD to bypass the hardware-based enhancement technology
provided by your video card. 3. In the All2HD tab,
select Enable Trimension All2HD. 4. Select
On in To HD Enhancement. This upscales your
video to HD. Move the slider to adjust the amount of enhancement. Note:
Upscaling only matches high-definition viewing. Blu-ray or HD-DVD disc content
provide true high-definition quality.
