Primera intros first Blu-ray pirating, er... duplication system {Engadget}

Jun 14th 2006 2:09PM Gio, you are mistaken. The difference in quality at full output resolution would be over 200%. Up conversion does only that, it upconverts the existing image to fool the display into thinking it's seeing HD, so the internal scaler doesn't have to screw around with it. It cannot add detail that was never there.
An upconverted 480p DVD disc still only contains 480 lines of data regardless of how much upconversion you put it through.
That doesn't even come close to the clarity of actual 1080p content encoded onto a disc.
