Upscaling takes a non-HD video source (such as an old style DVD) and displays it correctly on an HD television. It increased the pixel count in the non-HD video so that it matches your HDTV. While a standard DVD is never going to match the incredible level of detail offered on a Blu-ray disc, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how good DVDs look using upscaling. They appear sharper, clearer and somewhere between a DVD and Blu-ray quality.
BD-Live works with Blu-ray players and the Internet to bring you extra content related to the disc you've bought or rented. So what kinds of things can you get with BD-live?
Who is BD-Live important to? Well if you've always enjoyed watching the extra features found on DVD movies (and later on Blu-ray movies) then you'll likely get a kick out of BD live. To get it, you'll need a Blu-ray player, such as the BDX2000 that's BD Live compatible. (Most are these days) and a broadband internet connection. To get the best out of BD-Live, you'll need to update your player with the latest firmware. This can be done at the manufacurer's website. There's a really good page from the Sony website here showing some examples of what BD-Live can do.
DolbyHD does for audio what HD does for video, offering a perfect 'HD'sound quality. As Blu-ray discs have a lot more room on them than old DVD formats it's possible to have a much higher quality audio on the disc. The sound you hear is 100% uncompressed so there's no distortion and a huge difference in the quality.
Here's a quick overview of some of the highlights:
