All the nice coloured demos (birds, landscapes, insects, country specials, tropical fishes etc.) they use to run on TVs in a loop to sell them are MPEG-2 files. MPEG-2 is not that bad, just a bit outdated, ie newer codecs are much efficient at the same bitrate.

what device does the upscaling and how?
