It works fine, I'm doing it here. But you need a lot of CPU as you don't get
any help from the GPU. 3Ghz dual core seems about right for most anything
you want to do. If you're not doing h264, a slower CPU can get it done. I'm
outputting 720p as that's what my display can do. But there is no reason
your card can't output 1080p, it's lower resolution than many modern
monitors. Deinterlacing is done in software as well, and works very well.
There are a number of types to choose from in Myth, what you use depends on
how much CPU you can spare and what looks good to you. Just try some of them
and see what you like. HD material seems to do well with even the lower
quality deinterlacers. 1080i broadcast stuff looks great without going nuts
on deinterlace.
