As long as we're chiming in on this subject:

tfields is very valuable for deinterlacing high-motion content. With any
other deinterlacing method, motion is sometimes left so chunky looking
that it can be hard to follow what's going on.

tfields will leave some amount of visible flickering on stationary
sharp horizontal edges, which may make it unsuitable or annoying for
some types of content.
