Even better compression methods of UMD video is not enough to compensate that big difference. I don't think UMD could ever reach quality of properly upscaled DVD on big screen. |
Its not an issue of compression, but one of resolution.
UMD is 272x480
DVD is 480x720
This means UMD will look like shit on a tv, especially if its HD
