that's a non-interlaced source on an interlaced display. try bob & weave. Does the g400 have a flicker filter?
AFAIK, DVB material in standard PAL resolution is interlaced. Deinterlacing is useful AFAIK only in the exact opposite scenario, when dispaying interlaced material on a non-interlaced device. I have interlaced material on a interlaced display, that's where field parity matters if I didn't misunderstood the whole matter.
Yes, the Tv-out of the G400 has a flicker filter and DirectFB supports it. But I guess the application must activate that, and if that's the case (i.e. the matrox ctrc2 code in DirectFB doesn't activate it by default) the "softdevice" VDR plugin doesn't make use of it, yet. I think it's only usefull when displaying some OSD with sharp edges, or fonts, anyway, not really for video material (but this might also depend on the display).
