So, I note from the discussion that we're de-interlacing the video
on the way in, storing it progressive on disk, and then of course
interlacing it for going out to the TV.  Would it not be better to
store it on disk as interlaced frames?  I would think that without
the filters required it the video quality would be improved for more
than one reason.
