I have videos in DVD NTSC(Or SD) that I want to convert to HD for future videos. The reason that I can't just have a copy in NESC DVD Because of future TVs, HD will be more clear then NTSC DVD.

No it won't. In fact it may look worse. You can't get better quality than what you already have. The increased resolution will simply "pixelate" the picture. It amounts to the same thing as taking a small still picture and zooming in on it. You will see the fuzz, imperfections, pixels, and blur that much clearer. You are better off leaving it at dvd resolutions and playing it back on an upconverting dvd player. These players will increase the resolution electronically which is an entirely different matter.

Not withstanding, dvd players can not playback HD. You need a HD DVD player, or Blu Ray player (or even the Sony PS3) to play back HD, and you will not find a program for free that will do these kinds of disks.

Notice: I am keeping the DVD version at DVD NTSC. I need to convert it for certian media such as HD-DVD Players.

I shoot a lot of hi def, have a HD DVD player, create HD DVD's, as well as hi def AVCHD disks for playback in the Sony PS3.

HD DVD players (and Blu Ray players) have electronic up-conversion for SD dvd's and you would be much better off going that route. SD upconverted to hi def from a time line just don't look that good.

But if you insist on trying, Pinnacle Studio11.1, Ulead Movie Factory6, as well as Ulead Video Studio 11 have the ability to do both Blu Ray avchd disks as well as HD DVD disks.

BTW... HD DVD players are no longer being produced and will fade away in the next few years. You're better off going with Blu Ray..... and the problem with that is that your machine is drastically underpowered to properly handle AVCHD (hi def disks for blu ray). Real Blu ray burners (which use mpeg2 at 25000M) are about $400 right now and the disks are about $10 each.
