I have indeed, quite a lot of them and I have always taken the closed
status to mean that: "I will not look at this any more". But I guess I have 
been
wrong 25 years then. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

That's what I thought, but what I told is an empirical fact:
MythTV deinterlacing on my (not very good) Prosavage8 works fine
with 6.8.2, but not with 6.9/7.0.
Could of course have something to do with XV not really working in 6.8.2
(despite claimed support). In 6.8.9 it does work though, but then I get the
deinterlacing issues. And they are exactly the same as the original reporter
said: No effect whatsoever deinterlacing method you choose.
Asking XV to "deinterlace" (XV_VERTICAL_INTERPOLATION) made the
picture watchable, but wasn't really that good , especially since it
created a too high CPU load .

But anyway it doesn't seem to be an isolated problem.
