 A. One way is to plug your computer into your TV.
   For instance, position a laptop near your TV and hook it in.  Newer TV's support this.

+Q. Can I use this with Windows Media Center?
+A. Yes, just use some WMC plugin that allows you to "call out" to a 3rd party software to play your files.
+   Then use the "advanced" mode "create side-by-side EDL file" to create an EDL for your previously existing file.
+   Then make your WMC plugin "call out" to smplayer to play those files (through whatever means it necessary), and
+   it will automatically pick up and use the EDL file.
+   You could also use the same side-by-side EDL file with XBMC, which also honors them, though
+   mutes are broken currently, so it will set it to just always skip. [note: this may not be implemented all the
+   way yet ask on the mailing list if it is or not, for XBMC]

 making it better.  No really, I have some ideas, but want to see if there's need first for improvement in those areas.
 
 Finally, report back! If there are problems that arise, I want to hear about them so we can help you through it.

+
+download/install uscreencapture: http://www.umediaserver.net/umediaserver/download.html
+
+download+install "windows sdk" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb980924 (rather big one here :) )
+
+download virtualdub: http://www.virtualdub.org/download.html
+
+Now start your "subject" to upconvert (ex: hulu, or netflix instant).  
+You can pause it if desired.  Don't fullscreen it.
+You'll want to leave it on its smallest "window" possible, that still has the most detail.
+So basically don't let your "subject" player do any stretching, you want to leave all of that for 
+this program to do.
+
+Next you'll need dual monitor, ex: laptop screen plus the VGA out on the laptop.
+Position your "subject" movie so that it is flush in the top right of either monitor.
+See the file "position_window.png" for an demo. Installing NiftyWindows then 
+"right mouse button+drag" can help you reposition it just right.
+
+Now in virtualdub, open the file upconvert_from_screen.avs.
+
+Click the "play" bottom left button.
+See if it is capturing the right monitor, how much of the video it is capturing, if any.
+
+Now search for the program "graphedt.exe", for me, this was in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin
+
+Run it.  Use it to open the file uscreen.GRF
+Right click on the box "uscreencapture"
+Adjust the various properties so that it captures the video region you desire, by editing values, click "Apply",
+then clicking the "save" icon within graphedit.  Then reopen the file within virtualdub to test your new settings.
+Note the x and y values you use.
+
+Now edit the text upconvert_from_screen.avs and fill in appropriate values.
+
+Now run it in virtualdub again, move virtualdub to your output display, enjoy watching it.
