That's probably the infamous, Nvidia, mpeg2, decoding bug that is some
encoders and encoding settings.

It's in the video, playback profiles.  Note that you can no longer
choose the deinterlacer by name.  You choose Low, Medium or High
Qaulity and MythTV will choose the appropriate deinterlacer based on
other, playback settings.  You can see which one is actually used in
the OSD under Playback Data.  The former developer who handled
playback said this change made supporting multiple playback options
much simpler for him.

I think is controlled by the OSD theme.
