720p AMVs

Why would you WANT to upscale a 4:3 source to 720p....It'd probably be fugly.

Well, if you use the right avs filters, upscaled 720p can look better than 480p on bigger screens when fullscreened...

The question was "how" and mentioned nothing about quality of course upscaling will look like crap compared to a proper 720p/1080p source.

The FMP blu-rays are 4:3 and 1080p... it looks odd...

I found the Gunbuster Blu-Ray looking rather odd being 4:3 at 1080 myself, but yeah, they do exist.

Are they stored on the discs that way?

I've never messed with Blu-ray discs or looked much at the specs, so I'm completely in the dark about how they go about dealing with resolutions and ratios - I'd assume that the specs would err on the side of 1280x720 and 1920x1080 only (with possible exception for anamorphism if that even applies), and any 4:3 content would require pillarboxing.

Alright, well that was the question, how exactly can you do it WITHOUT screwing it up. And the answer is found out. But now, is there a 720p type format for 4:3 anime, or no?

I don't get it. ;-;

There is no way to make pure 720p footage from a standard dvd source. If you want to make an amv at 720p, you will have to either:

1) upscale the dvd to 720p and deal with the crappy quality...

2) purchase the hd-dvd or bluray of the source and use that...

Oh... Well that really sucks. D:
