Can the PS3 upscale DLNA streams?

[Pandamonium]

I've done some searching to no avail, which leads me to believe the answer is no. But I'm not sure I'm searching the right terms either..

Can the PS3 (slim, if it makes a difference) upscale video files hosted on a DLNA compliant device? What I want to do is rip my DVD collection (full & uncompressed if possible) onto my Synology NAS. Then I want to be able to play back those DVDs as if I inserted the discs into the PS3. So I want menus and upscaling. If I had to lose the menus, that would be okay. But I want the upscaler to work its magic. Is this possible?

any ideas?

The ps3 technically has to upscale any video that is not the output resolution to make it full screen. How it handles that internally I can't say as there is many ways to do it .

It seems to. There are noise reduction and anti-blocking filters you can turn on.

how good is the upscaler on the tv?

Well I don't mean upscale insofar as going from DVD resolution to 720p/1080p. I guess I'm more referring to the filters that it applies to DVD discs. Some of my DVDs are almost indistinguishable from Blu ray content.

My goal is to move my DVD collection from my bookshelf into a box. Right now I've got two bookshelves packed with DVDs. I'd like to rip them to my NAS, which has a DLNA server, and have the DLNA streams look the same as if I had inserted the DVD into my PS3. What can I do?

why would you not re-encode the DVD's with the filters you want and then just stream the end result so the PS3 doesnt have to do anything?

I don't have a clue what the filters the PS3 is using. All I know is that I like them. Wouldn't reencoding destroy DVD menus/subtitles/etc?

What you are referring to is called post-processing. That is where you apply filters, sharpen, noise reduction, scaling before displaying it to the screen. The only people that can tell you how the ps3 does that and what processing it does would be sony.

You can do that yourself using your pc but it is a time consuming process.
