Only a very few players upconvert over component. Most use DVI/HDMI, and encrypt the video too using HDCP.

Faroudja is very nice, but it is not bug free. For some, the bugs overwhelm the benefits.

The Oppo 971 is regarded as an excellent DVD player--and it shines in 720p mode. It's not however, up to the level of hd-dvd.

I use my Mac to burn firmware updates-- the update is delivered in .iso form-- which most any burning software should handle.
