| | Thanks for the link. I did miss that article and it did answer some of my questions. But maybe I missed something, which video card of the two did FS decide to keep in the HTPC for future use? And to confirm, all captures of images for this article came from the HTPC? Flag this | Edit this post |

| | While I agree that the HD-DVD format is superior in audio and video quality over the standard DVD version, I am curious as to which machine listed in the test equipment was used for the upconvert. Reason being is that some of the equipment listed, although they do great for the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray in their price range, are not the best performers when it comes to upconverting standard DVDs. Even with HTPC and high end PCs with great video cards that do excellent upconvert, I've still noticed better upconvert output from my Oppo DV-981HD DVD player. Your standard DVD screenshots just look a little too smeared compared to what I see on my player and Sony 50A10 720P 3-LCD rear projection TV. Of course with any upconvert player, the output is still only going to be as good as what's going in. If it's a crappy DVD, it'll probably look worse. But if the quality is superb, that'll show a little better on the upconvert. In closing, maybe a little more detailed information as to what equipment was used for what and maybe the specs listed on the HTPC will benefit the readers when trying to anylize (spelled incorrectly on purpose due to filters blocking out the proper spelling) the comparison.
