I actually wish the PS3 would allow the DVD's to be run at 480i and 576i, and let the display or external scaler to do the whole deinterlacing and upscaling job.
PS3 Firmware 1.80 - PS/PS2/DVD upscaling, DLNA and more!

Assuming your DVI is HDCP (which it seems to be) you should be fine.

I take it you mean through HDMI? As with component you would only need to deselect 480p support to have it pass through a 480i signal (for DVDs). Well, that is, before 1.8.
I wonder if DVD upscaling will be a separate menu option from the normal resolution settings. If they were A/V enthusiast conscious, they would separate it. As long as its HDCP compliant, you should be good to go.

Thanks for the links. Wiki also has a mega-list of Media Server software (and some hardware, too). A few appear to be free.

It's so that there would be more choice, some people might have a dedicated high quality external upscaler that also does better job at deinterlacing, or a display that does it better.
If the deinterlacing is very good on the new PS3 firmware, then it's ok. I've just found that my projector with it's Faroudja chip has thus far been visibly better than for example my Pioneer DV-696 DVD player at deinterlacing, so I've been grateful the Pioneer has the option to feed raw 576i to the projector.
Another thing. Would I be able to stream from a PC with the PSP via PS3 using remote play?

Well, I don't trust you any more on your "insider information"
You said in the previous thread that there would be nothing special new in the firmware apart from upscaling, but the DLNA streaming and PSP remote play to me are at least as big features.
Oh the Internet ! You can't be too careful 
I am jumping with joy. With this update, my most wanted feature (WAN Remote Play) is in. My dream feature for 2008 (DLNA support) is also included !
It also means that subsequent major updates will most likely be advanced Blu-ray playback (e.g., 24fps), digital distribution or online gaming related
. Thanks and please Sony, give us Wallpapers and XMB in-game access next. I promise to be good this year Windows Media Connect is DLNA 1.0: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/media/MCX.mspx
I don't know what DLNA3 is. The last time I checked, there was a DLNA 1.5. dlna.org site is swarmed now, so I can't verify.
Sony's DLNA implementation most likely will not include WMV 10 and Windows DRM support (Both are supposed to be in for Netfront).

I quote myself
you cant expect me to say everything now dont you? :smile:
Guys guys guys, it's not "DLNA3" it's supposed to be DLNA(*3), indicating that you should read footnote 3.

Good catch. Is this verified for everyone or just EU?
Great update but HDMI/HDCP requirement for DVD upscaling is pretty stupid (DVD Forum heh). If I was going to rip a dvd, I could upscale myself anyway. It is not a magical.
Why are people asking this question? It is not like EU PS3 emulates GS. And clearly upscaling is a post rendering process. It has nothing to do with EE.
And don't forget NA/JP PS3s can deinterlace 480i only games already.

It's possible that it's upscaling to HDMI 1.3 Deep Color.
A little more info from the SCEA PR:
Specifically, this PR gives a little more detail on the photo printing/viewing/cropping. The latter is sort of unexpected, I don't have an epson photo printer, but it's neat to see them support things like that. The added memory card functionality ought to be nice for anyone who might want to play any PS2/PS1 games between their PS3 and the other systems.

If I remember correctly they supported printing from GT4 on Epson printers too.
