I'm sorry for your bad past experiences, but there are good ways to upscale. That said, it will never look HD, but it can allow for a better look with fewer compression artifacts showing. There are things out there upscaled that most people don't realize was an upscale for the most part. An example of good upscaling would be FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood, as it was not animated in HD but was upscaled nicely (of course it wasn't quite SD either). From just eyeballing the Soul Eater Blu-ray video, I would say that it's source master probably isn't HD either yet it looks amazing on Blu-ray (if it is HD, it's 720p, however it doesn't quite look like it is). The fact that we use very lossy codecs for distribution, an upscaled (if done properly) will always look better than an SD encode, HOWEVER, it will NEVER look as good as a true HD video source.

So basically my point is, if you are arguing an upscale never looks good, you are essentially saying anything that isn't HD looks like crap...

No. I'm saying you should use your sources native AR and not upscale. It has nothing to do with HD or blu ray. If I were editing an amv where one source had a 2px difference I'd rather downscale the larger source than upscale the smaller, for example.

Umm, AR is Aspect Ratio. That said, when I upscale a video, I maintain the same aspect ratio ;)!
