    Yes absolutely true, but mpeg2 isn't really a problem for the cpu anymore. And it just looks a lot sharper if you upscale to 1920 as if you use powerdvd codec alone. For h264 video or tv i wouldn't use this combination. I also upscale divx videos. I tried a lot of codec combinations in the last 5 years. In my opinion this combinatio gives the sharpest picture for SD TV.

    Could you make an export of your ffdshow settings and attach the file here? Can i select postprocessing for mpeg2 and h.264 seperately?

    Yes i will do that, but not until weekend because i am not at home at the moment.
    Ans yes you can define different profiles and you can restrict the upscaling to a particular source resolution e.g.
    everything under 720 p or 1024x someting should be upscaled. There a lot of different websites whree you can inform you about the different settings.

    Yeah, you're right, sorry for delay ;)

    Here you got my ffdshow settings file for upscaling to 1920x(something)
    with sharpening effect. There are a lot more and better settings but they take a lot more cpu power, you can play this game until a quad core cpu gives up. So this setting is my favorite for quality / processing power

    OK thanks a lot. So you select PowerDVD as MPEG2 Codec and then add ffdshow video filter to postprocessing?
