Able to make dvd's look like high definition?

[dukenukem]

hey all i downloaded the high definition trailer of sharktale,very goo quality,i was wondering if i would be able to encode my dvd's into xvid or some simiar codec to look like high definition quality,is this possible because i heard of a thread at doom9.org where they did this with increasing the resolution and using some filters but the files will turn out to be 4gigs or more,just want to know is this can be really done?

Technically - no. You can't make something higher quality than the source

Perceived Higher Quality - Kinda Sorta


The trick in the end is playing the file with FFDSHOW and its associated image filters. Better have a 3.0 P4 or higher to use it...
