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?

Well, I just ripped a few of my old DVDs with handbrake, and I upscaled by setting the resolution to 720p and ensuring the "upscale" cjljeckbox is ticked.

Tovmy eye, it looks pretty good on my 55" 1080p TV, and I noticed in my voddeo player it scaled to my display size appropriately. If I imply ripped it, the video would have a hugee black box around it ony high red display.

I'd say using handbrake is fairly effective once you get it off the disk, for which I used a rip to mkv app in Linux.
