[MPlayer-users] Deinterlace-plugins that do not destroy fps?

[Pasi Kärkkäinen]

Hello!

Is there any work going on to get better deinterlacing plugins to Mplayer?

I'd like to be able to view interlaced material (DVD's, tv-card etc) at the full
framerate (50/60fps)..

Many of the good deinterlacing techniques are shown at the
http://www.100fps.com.

With deinterlacing methods like "Combination of Weave+Progressive Scan" you
get the full fps and great picture quality.. 

Quote from 100fps.com: "How can you expect to have excellent results when
you convert 50 fields per second (=50 snapshots per second) to 25 snapshots
per second?"

Good NTSC MPEG-2 clip available for testing is here:
http://telija.net/~pk/FlickerBox.zip (originally from ftp.demodvd.org, but
it seems to be down now..)

When played at 30 fps (like mplayer does) the picture is not correct.

Does support of these deinterlacing methods require big changes to
mplayer?

Please comment..
