Yeah, I check often. Have the latest updates...still have lip synch issues.
Blackize,
You cannot "upconvert" at standard DVD to HD. It only "upconverts" the SD signal. It does make a difference, but it is no where near HD quality.
Standard "upconverted" DVD vs HD/blu-ray DVD = no contest.
A video signal is only as good as it's source and DVD = standard def.
Moreover, some people don't even notice a difference.
Here's a quick overview. DVD signals are 480i. Your HDTV is either 720p or 1080p. In order to properly display a 480i signal, the signal has to be converted from 480i to 720p (or 1080p). Your TV will do that conversion automatically.
The reason one would get an upconverting DVD player is because some people assert that upconverting DVD players do a better job at doing the conversion than your TV does.
There is no comparison to Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, both of which store the movies in 1080p.
That said, the difference between HD-DVD and DVD is not as great as you would think. E.g., I have two movies in both DVD and HD-DVD. You can hardly tell the difference between regular DVD and HD-DVD in the movie Terminator 3. But you can easily tell the difference between the two when viewing King Kong (which is also reputed to have the best picture quality of any HD-DVD).
