The 8400GS is one of the oddities that was manufactured using 2
different processors.
The version with the G98 processor supports VDPAU feature set B
The version with the G86 processor supports VDPAU feature set A

fwiw, the 210 card you mentioned would support Feature set C

VDPAU Feature set info:
Feature Set A
    Complete acceleration for H.264
    Partial acceleration for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VC-1/WMV9
Feature Set B
    Complete acceleration for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VC-1/WMV9 and H.264.
Feature Set C
    Complete acceleration for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2 (a.k.a
MPEG-4 ASP), VC-1/WMV9 and H.264.


Here is an example of a 'lspci' command output for an 8400GS using the
G98 processor:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce
8400 GS] (rev a1)


Also, have you tried Temporal 1X as opposed to 2X?

The 2X deinterlacers require the display to be able to handle twice
the framerate of the source material.
