Is this issue coming from my hardware's limitations (not enough CPU or GPU power), or is there any more things to fine-tune?

Derek/VDR User uses xine as his vdr plugin and he uses vdpau, perhaps you should not use a software de-interlacer/post plugin, but rather tell vdpau to enable de-interlacing. on xineliboutput I use the tvtime output plugin, where I tell it to use my video output driver's de-interlacer.

try --post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver

and in your .xine/config

# 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.

I enabled deinterlacing in vdpau and it's working fine :) Thanks for the hints, deintelacing it's just fine now. Maybe it could be even better on fast moving (ex. soccer), but the most important is that I'm having deinterlaced HD video on my VDR without freezes!

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

I also tried these, to be honest, I see no major difference. I left them as suggested by Torgeir Veimo. Thanks again.

One more question. I have couple of programs which are offering 16:9 content in 4:3 format, so on my 16:9 display I have a small image with a huge black border. At the moment I have two solution for this: press Z in xine to zoom, or set up a 1.33 zoom ratio in vdr-xine setup window. Is there any way to switch this zoom level on/off with my vdr-remote?

Crop feature on xineliboutput is what you require, except it doesn't work without a patch when using vdpau. The same goes for vdr-xine.

Have a look here -> http://vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=86804%C5%B1

Does autocrop feature also works with vdr-xine plugin? I patched xine-vdpau with the patches from the first post of the mentioned thread, it compiles fine, but when I start xine, it says the autocrop post plugin does not exists. Should I use xineliboutput to have autocrop?

I used xineliboutput from snapshot 20091013 and the patch for xineliboutput, also xine-lib-1.2 with the vdpau patch

Does this version still inhibit the problem of freezing both audio and video for a brief moment after channel change, as a patched xine-lib 1.1 does?

No idea. I don't have any nVidia graphics hardware.
