If you have interlaced output best option would be to display each field as it comes in (1:1).. then you would get "best possible" quality. If you have progressive display device, then best option is to use "full-fps" deinterlacing, meaning 50 fields/sec ends up 50 frames/sec, or even 100 frames/sec containing all the motion/movement info.. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
