Fall_Child is such a tyrant.

Not a fan of higher resolution to preserve more detail due to the lossy nature of distribution codecs?

Always.

Always.
Not if done properly.

I will also add your computer "upscales" videos during playback when you play them fullscreen (without telling it to alter your monitor's resolution). Carefully upscaling before encoding with a lossy distribution codec you give yourself more quality control. The key here is doing it CAREFULLY. Poorly done upscales for official Blu-ray releases has left a bad taste for upscaling in a lot of people's mouths.

If you do, you might want to go study the basics on this subject and learn the advantages you get from upscaling the video before playback vs on the fly upscaling.

I don't. I know the basics, and the basic is that you don't upscale. It never looks good. It always looks bad.

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...
