So how does this work? If the DVD doesn’t contain sufficient information for a 1080p picture to begin with, how can you give it that information?

This is HYPE people.

There is not enough information to enlarge a picture

They may have a nice way to SIMULATE a higher resolution but you cannot extract anything more than what is there.

I bought an HD-DVC Player before Christmas last year.

I'm really impressed with its upscaling ability for regular DVDs.

I'm not sure if it has this new XDE?

This entertainment media tech stuff is just moving too fast for me to keep up with. I have well over 1000 movies on DVDs in my home theater library, that over several years replaced nearly as many VHS tapes. I don't want to replace them again in my life time with something else. I got way to much invested in them.

Toshiba does outstanding work with up-scalers. For most people upscaling is all they need. My Reon equipped XA2 puts out a great SD picture and most people can’t tell the difference between really good upscaling and HD. I can, so I’m waiting for BD to come down in price or for an easy HD VOD solution.

I'm a retired submariner, and I still hold a grudge against Toshiba for selling our propeller technology to the Soviets. Since giving this kind of intelligence to the enemy could have cost me my life, I take this one personal.
