program to convert DVD to 1080p??

I see DrGreenThumb has also recently joined this thread...
Well, i listed the programs you'll need but if you want help on how to use them, i first recommend doing a bit of research by visiting their homepage and seeing how to use them... I'm sure you'll pick up how to use them without too much trouble (Hopefully) if you are planning on doing any.

so i guess the point of this thread is to say that there is no TRUE 1080p release (legit or leaked) of LOTR, and that you can make your DVD copy of LOTR 1080p and clean it up a bit but it still wont look near as good as a TRUE 1080p version. conclusion? dont waste your time. also, ive noticed that all the torrents floating around claiming to be 1080p versions of the LOTR series are apparently sourced from a Chinese broadcast. So i am 99% positive this is a classic bootleg tactic. They get the 720p version from a broadcast and upconvert it to 1080p and use filters to make it not look so bootleg. Then they pass it off on the streets as 1080p. That may work in China but it sure as hell shouldnt work in the USA !

it'd work better than you think - most people would fire it up in a player and see what that said. If the set top player or media software says the res is 1080p, most people would beleive its true.

Even if there are problems with the source, filters can fix it up.
I may be incorrect here but i'm sure you can interlace h264 video to get that awful flickering as well but i doubt anyone would want to use that setting even if the option is available (x264's h.264 encoder doesn't have that option but others like quicktime's h.264 might have it).

Well, even if you have no idea about filters just remember they are very useful... People like the police might use it to get clearer images of faces from low quality cams or like NASA might use it in investigations to get more detail of an incident (eg. Columbia from 2004... they never would have worked out what caused it to explode if they didn't use very good filters onto very poor quality camera videos to sharpen the image to see what hit it and where.)

X.264 has the option not to de-interlace from interlaced material. It's been a while, so I don't remember the switch to turn off de-interlacing. Not so sure about turning non-interlaced material into interlaced. Not even sure why one would want to attempt that anyway. lol.
