I know this technically doesn’t really qualify as !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but I figured if anybody on Lemmy would know, it’s you guys.

I have some old DVDs that never got a proper Blu-ray release. With all the fuzz about and the recent advancements in AI, what is the definitive best way to upscale to 1080p in 2023?

    deinterlace

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a DVD with interlaced video. Is that really a thing?

      They are all interlaced, you just won’t ever see it unless you have a really really old DVD player that isn’t progressive scan or rip the files directly.

        Are you sure about that? I was under the impression it was the opposite and they were typically progressive scan video and were adjusted by the device for interlaced displays.

      The Futurama box sets I have are interlaced and the rips look absolutely terrible if I don’t remember to set the playback options right when I watch an episode.
