AFAIK current xine's don't support hardware accelerated deinterlacing
anymore. AFAIK only the scaler and MAYBE the color-conversion is done in
hardware.

So you are free to use any deinterlacer you want. Personaly i use
"linear blend".

And btw. Playing back recordings (stored on a loop-aes encrypted
partition) works flawlessly on a PII-400 with NVidia Gefoce 4MX
(1280x1024) as long as you use "xv". "Pure software" (Xshm) isn't fast
enough and looks UGLY.
