I would be great to have this feature. I'd rather let my avr do the upscaling.

Almost all my media is 720p with some files SD.
As a temporary solution, would it be my best choise to set Windows/XBMC to 720p resolution and let my avr upscale it to 1080p? Or should I just keep it at 1080p and let XBMC handle all the upscaling?

The problem with setting 720P output is that you will end up with 720P for all of your content, even the 1080P stuff.

At this point it's probably better to set the PC for 1080P output and allow Windows/XBMC to upscale your lower resolution content. Unfortunately that means that in situations in which the TV or AVR would do a more handsome job upscaling the lower resolution content, you will be missing out on those capabilities, until this is eventually implemented in XBMC (someday!).

I should also add that I'd still love to see this. My AVR is pretty good, certainly better than the HTPC for these kinds of things.

Am new to XBMC. This would make it a very nice addition. +1 for this feature.

Any chance that the PR will be changed so that NR will also switch to interlaced video modes if the source content is interlaced?
