Perhaps. I found that even with the latest code (and therefore improved
video sync always enabled), bob felt much smoother than kerneldeint,
which didn't seem improved by the a/v sync enhancements.

btw, I have issues with kerneldeint now where approximately 50% of the time,
I see some of the frames drawn horizontally offset from the correction
position. This gives a sort of "ghosting" effect. Very odd. Bob doesn't
do this, and kerneldeint didn't until recently.

I'll experiment some more. Thanks for your recent changes to the A/V
sync and deinterlacing; one or the other has been a big improvement for
me.
