I've looked at Xine:s documentation (which is kinda coinfusing :) ), the 
man pages, and the .xine/config file... all I find are postprocess plugins 
that work on the decoded image. What I'm looking for is software scaler 
methods, or preprocess plugins, or whatever they're called.

I've tried increasing ffmpeg:s post-processing quality, playing with the 
deinterlacing options, and generally trying to get some effect from 
postprocessing, but while the image gets smoother, the blocks and blurs 
are still there. :(
