# vdpau: HD deinterlace method # { bob half temporal half temporal_spatial temporal temporal_spatial }, default: 3 video.output.vdpau_deinterlace_method:temporal
Or whichever method you'd like to try. Not all hardware supports temporal_spatial.
And maybe also
# vdpau: disable deinterlacing when progressive_frame flag is set # bool, default: 0 video.output.vdpau_honor_progressive:1
# vdpau: disable advanced deinterlacers chroma filter # bool, default: 0 video.output.vdpau_skip_chroma_deinterlace:1
