With deinterlacing, you can use whichever order you prefer. (BTW, yes,
you got the orders right.) However, with other postprocessing filters,
(for example pp=hb/vb/dr or something), it's very important to do them
FIRST, before any scaling or cropping.

-vop lavcdeint is totally broken. I keep asking if it's ok to remove
it but no one responds. Perhaps I'll just go ahead and remove it and
see if anyone complains. BTW, for the same functionality you can use
-vop pp=fd. Run mplayer -pphelp for a list of all postprocessing
options including several deinterlacers. pp=lb is probably the best
one tho.
