That is what I thought. I have an SDTV that has component inputs. I
have been driving it with the HD480i mode. I didn't see an interlacing
artifacts, and have been happy with my set up. I just figured I would
try out the VDPAU because I had a card that could do it and I was
curious to see if it would work for when I get an HD set. But when I
turned on VDPAU with the Advanced 2x deinterlacer, I was absolutely
amazed. I have never seen a recording from my pvr-150 look so good. It
was incredible the difference it made. The bump in quality was far
superior to any setting I had previously used from no interlacing all
the way up to yadiff 2x.
