mplayer is supposed to be able to do vdpau deinterlacing.  I ran this
command:

mplayer -vo vdpau:deint=4,xv, -vc
ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau, Ondine_clip.mpg

and the clip played without any problems.  Assuming that the :deint=4
actually did what it is supposed to (there was nothing in the log
output that mentioned deinterlacing), then it should have been playing
using the vdpau temporalx2 deinterlacing, just the same as I have
mythfrontend set up to do.  So I will create a ticket as soon as I
work out how to.
