Thanks Michael!

I have bought new monitor with 1920 X 1200 resolution. What is the best currently available software for the HD upconversion of regular DVDs? I know that WinDVD7 has TrimensionDNM upconversion feature, but have read that better effects can be obtained with older WinDVD6 combined with...

It seems that the best version is the Hungarian DVD of "Salo" that has superior French transfer and contains both Hungarian and English subtitles.
