Hi

what's the best up scaling media player for Mac? I have VLC, QuickTime
and mplayer installed, but willing to get another one.
With what software can I reenecode up scaled?

Because I have a 27" screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 ;-)

You want to to play upscaled or you eant it to reencode upscaled?

As for playing I would think VLC is technically better because you have dozens of scaling and display options. BUt it all depends on just how much you're upscaling... if you're trying to make 320x240 look like 720p you're going to be disappointed.

Both. Mainly playing, but also reencode.

Can you explain me those settings? What to choose for best quality in up scaling and display?
