Can i use my Computer as a Upscaling DVD player?

[cartera]

Quite literally as the title says, can it be done? I don't want to buy a up-scaling dvd player unless i have too. I know it is certainly possible but i am quite sure my computer currently does not do it!
Many thanks in advance,
AC

Computer Specs are:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
4GB OCZ Gold DDR2 800MHz Ram
Nvidia 9800gtx+ Graphics card with DVI - HDMI Output
LG 37" Full HDMI Screen.

Your graphics card is responsible for the upscaling component.
You should be able to use PowerDVD (or any other media player) in conjunction with the FFDShow ( for picture sharpen/denoise/deinterlacing/colour/warp/resize etc.) codec.
FFDShow comes bundles as part of the K-lite codec pack which is available as a free download from this site https://www.techspot.com/downloads/775-klite-codec-pack-full.html
The codec pack is available as Standard, Full or Mega -and remember to update it to the newest version. The codec pack is a VERY USEFUL addition to any media centre as it also works with MPEG-4 encoded video (XviD, DivX H.264 etc.) and has the latest sound updates.
Hope this helps.

Not the New Zealand I'm from- sounds like our poster might have spat out the Thorazine while the nurse was distracted.
