Best way is to let your player do it.
You could try the following:

There is a forum link here which may help you. You would have to use VirtualDub and Avisynth:

There is a lot of work involved and you will probably not improve much over a players built-in upscaler IMHO.

No one, or more appropriately, nothing.

Give your encode more bitrate instead.

@epsilonalpha,
The OP said nothing specifically about ENCODING, so to presume that is a bit premature.

One can do it in software to encode to a newly stored file, one can do it in software during realtime playback, or one can do it in hard/firm-ware during playback either within the video card or within the TV.

The "best quality" would probably be the 1st, using Vdub & AVISynth as transporterfan suggests (or using $$$ pro software), but he's right in that the hard/firm-ware options in most video card or TVs have improved to the point where it makes no sense to waste time doing it any other way (unless one was incorporating it in a newly edited/composited piece).

Explain why you want to do this? Any special reason?

The only reason I can think of is you want to add 720x576 source to a 1280x720 edit.

Animated material upscales better than real world video. See this post for an example:

The VideoEnhancer examples look too good to be true...

I think they cherry pick the best shots. Super resolution techniques work best when there is a very small amount of motion between frames. They don't work on portions of the frame where there is no motion, or too much motion.

Oh, I see. The first time I read the site I thought they took stills from various videos for processing. I see now they're probably making use of temporal information in the video.
