For my own edification, may I ask *why* you need to deinterlace?

Also for my own edification, why do you need explicit settings for vfm, 
ao, afm, a52drc, autosync and cache* ?  "ao", or example is already 
defined in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf.

My kids' PC has an 8400GS and was 10.04LTS for quite a while and all 
video that I ever tried video Just Worked with the last line of 
/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf changed to "include = 
/etc/mplayer/site.specific" and that file being just:
   vo=vdpau,xv,
   vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,

(I'm going to add nolirc and nojoystick, though.)
