So I have the PS3 hooked up to my 1080p hdtv via HDMI and the ps3 games looks absolutely fantastic and so do the blu-ray movies. Now my question is I played my regular dvds through my dvd player via composite cables (480i, I need to get component ). Anyway, I was gonna buy component to bring it up to 480p but then I remembered the ps3 upscales regular dvds.

So I took out the dvd (OZ season: 4 disc 1) and put it in the ps3. Put the settings to upscale, hdmi, full screen, etc.....Checked output via tv remote and says 1080p but I didn't notice any difference at all in picture. Anyone have any ideas? I remember it saying that if its copyrighted it won't upscale or something but aren't all legit dvd's copyrighted?

 

you need HDMI for copyrighted(encrypted) discs.

edit: i may be wrong

The PS3 is a subpar DVD Player at best. Great BluRay Player though.

 

your life isn't gonna be complete until you pick up that HDMI cable

 

It sounds like he's using an HDMI cable.

 

reading > me.

 

ditto

 

My Oppo upscale makes regular dvd's look GREAT!..... But mostly @ 720p.
Upscaling is ok... but no where near your Blu-Ray

 

I've read that but I do have HDMI, said so in the first sentence:
That's why I was asking if anyone had any ideas.

True, however being that it can upscale it should surpass the image quality of my 4 year old panasonic dvd player, even if it's by a little.

 

The problem is the OZ...that's a show full of fruitcakes. Are you a fruitcake cam? I didn't think so.























Nah i'm just kidding, get The Wire :irock:
