BD_RB Upconvert SDto HD

[setarip_old]

(Searched "BD_RB Bug" thread, couldn't locate explanation)

Under "Settings", in the "Video Encoding Options", there is a checkbox for "Convert SD to HD (720p).

I presume this is applicable to the frequent inclusion of clips from earlier standard DVD releases on BluRay discs.

What is the purpose, necessity, and or benefit of such upconversion when using BD Rebuilder?

@jdobbs

Thanks for the explanation.

Glad to hear that it's not REQUIRED when dealing with BluRay SD "extras" ;>}

does it allow the dvd files
when we select sd to hd (720p)
or
is it only for extras

It'll do all SD sources.

I am trying this with an SD DVD for the input source but get an error saying it is not a BD source.

I'm guessing that this only works on SD stuff on BD formatted discs.

I'm guessing that this only works on SD stuff on BD formatted discs. BD Rebuilder currently only accepts Blu-ray input. Your second statement is correct. There are often 720x480/576 sources on a blu-ray disc.
