There is currently a huge quality different in regards to the
deinterlacers.  While good deinterlacers have been added to VAPPI, no one
has added support for them to mythfrontend.  mythfrontend does support the
best VDPAU deinterlacer.

The myth developers with knowledge of that part of the code are currently
busy with work/life.  It would be great if someone new would step up and
add support for all the VAAPI deinterlacers to myth.
