[mythtv-users] XvMC De-interlacing

[dean vanden heuvel]

for 2) when you say "Nothing like it used to be WITHOUT XvMC de-interlacing turned on", when was "used to be"?  The current version of Myth that I am using 0.15.1 does not allow de-interlace or any other filters to be used during playback.  What version are you using?
