[mythtv-users] Upscaling standalone DVD vs. MythTV

[Brian C. Huffman]

FYI - Here's the initial review that I mentioned a *long* time ago in this thread.  :-)

It looks like a good read as it discusses de-interlacing as well as the particular tests they used to measure each device / setup, but for those interested in the conclusion, here it is:

"We can be very clear in our conclusions; there is no need to invest $
2000 or more in a high-end DVD player. A PC with a recent graphics card
will produce a much better result for a lot less money. When looking at
the final scores of the HQV test, both ATI and nVidia graphics cards
perform a lot better than any DVD player we have tested. We would go as
far as to say to get rid of your DVD player and connect a media centre
PC to your LCD television!"
