#downsize to 720p, spline36 or lanczos is what most encoders use.
Spline36Resize(1280,720)

#upsize back to 1080p, your media player probably uses either bilinear or bicubic.
BicubicResize(1920,1080)

Save as something.avs, and run that in MPC.  Since you have an i7, it should be able to handle the resize operations on the fly without any lag (resize doesn't cost much anyway).

If you can't really see much difference compared to your original 1080p, then you could have just downloaded a 720p and resized with your media player to get pretty much the same result.

Actually, not exactly the same... some technical differences on what x264 does with the video... but lets not talk about that.
