I have seen ripped movies in 720p
/1080p
resolution but the source of the movie is DVD. So it must be a upscaled (720 x 480
to 1,280×720
or 1,920×1,080
) video I guess, Is there any
advantage in ripping a DVD to HD video, over ripping it to video with its original resolution ?
1This seems to be opinion seeking, against the [faq]. Can you reword as a technical question otherwise it will get closed. – Paul – 2012-05-23T04:14:49.217
1I think your video player will do a decent job of converting to the resolution of your display. I wouldn't try to upconvert it, just keep the full uncompromised rip of the DVD. – Mark Ransom – 2012-05-23T04:34:01.960
1This is not an answer. But, just go through this article: hometheater.about.com/od/hometheatervideobasics/qt/dvdvidupscale.htm
I think your video player software will do quite good job of upscaling. You wont need to rip it to higher resolution.
If you are gonna play on a DVD player, then above article will illustrate the situation quite good. – tumchaaditya – 2012-05-23T05:01:34.260
@Paul Thanks... Changed the question a bit, don't know whether it is adequate... – Nalaka526 – 2012-05-23T05:02:29.593
@Paul I believe this can be answered in technical terms — after all, it's asking about whether upscaling DVD video results in loss of (objective and subjective) quality, which is something you can measure, or where the tradeoff is between upscaling at encoding or playback side. – slhck – 2012-05-23T07:34:04.920
@slhck I agree - this is thanks to the edit, the original was a bit flakey! – Paul – 2012-05-23T09:32:59.267
