You can use your PC as an upconverting DVD player using ffdshow. There's no need to convert the DVD rip. Use ffdshow with MPC (or Zoom Player or Theater Tek) to output 720p or 1080i. Here's a tutorial/walkthrough: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=719041 http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=10693550#post10693550 The most important step here is to use the Resize & Aspect function in ffdshow to match the resolution of your HDTV.
