Best Video Resolution Available?

seeing as dvd's are 720x576, i would think it isn't possible to get good quality at 1024x768

i fail to see the logic of this post
if the quality of dvd's is excellent, then surely a higher resultion would be better picture quality, rather than worse (depending of course on encoding bitrates etc)

1024 x 768 DVD rips are shit... they just don't exist.

if you find one, i'm sure it's just a resized video, and if the original dvd video is 720x576, you can't get better quality than that.

it's just like getting a .jpg picture in 800x600 and save it in 1024x768. you'll lose quality AND the picture won't look any better.

if you reencode a divx (or xvid) movie to resize it to 1024 x 768, you'll lose quality AND the picture won't look any better either.

But why can't I even find some 720 x 576 resolution movies ?

i could care less as long as its DVD quality.

I think what he means is that if you rip a DVD to 1024x768 the quality will be bad because the DVD was originally at 720x576, and it isn&#39;t possible to increase the resolution of something while retaining the quality, regardless of the encoding bitrate.

Basically if the source (the DVD) is lower than 1024x768, then what&#39;s the point of increasing it to something higher? It&#39;s like getting a cam release of a movie and playing it fullscreen rather than at 320x320 or whatever it was encoded at.

If, however, they made DVDs at a resolution like 1152x864 then making a rip at 1024x768 would be no problem..

Warner Bros. made a 1000x540, high-quality trailer for The Matrix Reloaded. It was right around 97MB for 2 1/2 minutes.

That&#39;s comes out to 4.56GB for a 120 minute long film.

anyway, this is not in the standards. play a 1000x540 movie on your regular TV and it&#39;ll be no better than a regular dvd movie, because regular TV&#39;s don&#39;t have sufficient resolution to notice the better quality.

that&#39;s why VCD/SVCD look so better on your stand-alone dvd player than in your PC -- the TV resolution conceals the glitches and imperfections of the lower quality encodes.

Yes, there is no such resolution of 1024x768 on DVD&#39;s and if there was going from a smaller resolution to a bigger one would always give u worse quality so going from 720x480 to 1024x768 would be just horrible.

this was what i meant
if the manufacturers produced higher res dvd&#39;s then the quality would of course be better
