Toshiba still hasn't given up on DVD - the DVD forum has just started up a working group for DVD 2.0 which would be backwards compatible but which would add HDi interactivity, networking managed copy and upconversion of the MPEG-2 standard def video to 960p.

Pretty much pointless I would have thought given Blu-ray and the existing DVD upscalers, media devices and HD displays not to mention a first and even second generation machine that has all the flaws you would expect against a perfected DVD platform and IP/Vod delivery of SD content.

Apparently "Super Upconversion" uses the Cell processor (as in the PS3) to fuse multiple frames together, and give a very good upscale.

The bit about the odd resolution 960p is quite weird, and might be misinformation.

960p is perfect for US/NTSC/480i land, take 480i, de-interlace and frame double. Bit crude though, only sophistication might be interpolating the fill-in frame in each pair.

Not much good for us PAL/576i guys though!!
