@Tony Houghton: is it really possible to scale each field separately without producing artifacts? Isn't deinterlacing always neccessary prior to scaling? IMHO scaling does imply that even lines are allowed to blur into odd lines if the scale factor forces this. But artifact free blur of both fields is NOT possible if you either - don't deinterlace prior to scale or - keep even and odd fields separated during scale > Ok, I guess this single issue implies that vdpau is not fully suitable > for displaying interlaced material with interlaced output. @Torgeir Veimo: not sure about this. Intel series i9xx graphics is able to scale by hardware even in interlaced mode. I use this feature for my intel based frame rate control patches (SCART/RGB/PAL vga-sync-fields patch). - Thomas _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
