Is VLC capable of upscaling DVD to 1080p? Are PCs even capable of doing this?

Yes - VLC can do this. In what context do you mean though since VLC can scale the video output to whatever resolution the window/video region is scaled to or alternatively can stream/transcode to a file.
If you want to output to a video file with a resolution of 1080p you can use the width and height parameters in the sout (stream out) string. For example:
Code: Select all
vlc dvdsimple:// :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=2000,width=1920,height=1080,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst="C:\Temp\OUTPUT"}}Where dvdsimple:// and C:\Temp\OUTPUT.mp4 are the input stream and output file respectfully.
That would output an H.264 video of 1920x1080 at 2000kbps (with 192kbps stereo MP3 audio) and encapsulate it into a MP4 file.

Yes, my goal is to connect my new 42" 1080p screen via DVI/HDMI and I would like to use an HTPC instead of buying an upscaling DVD player. Thank you for the help.

Well for that there shouldn't be any need to transcode the video - outputing the video via DVI/HDMI at 1080p should work.

Hi everyone.
If I understood this trick it allows to convert a file into a 1080p one, but what if I would like to watch a dvd upscaled to 1080p?
I mean, with no encoder, just like the upscaling option of the most important blu ray player...
Thanks for your attention.
