The difference would be that we have a lower CPU Load, or are there any other Benefits in VPP?

Yes. Quality wise it's not easy to get better than yadif.
My tests with MACI and MADI on 576i and 1080i mpeg-2 material are "okay" - but nothing too fancy. I hope that slow GPU systems like Baytrails could be able to do 1080i50 and 576i in a quality better than bob.

I just noticed a mesa upgrade in Ubuntu repos, if I upgrade, will the patches from your repos to make all this work disapear and installation get messed up? Or is it safe to upgrade?
Thanks a lot.

If you are on 14.04 and had the mesa ppa running, upgrade will be smooth and you loose nothing, as we only provided mesa for trusty cause of some bugs in there.
If you already installed on 13.10, then you already have a broken system since upgrade to 14.04 if you did not remove the mesa ppa before.

So to make some things and expectations short:
- Without massive fixing on the intel side, we don't get that running at all
- Without massive improvement of their MADI / MACI filter (currently only one forward reference) the quality won't be nowhere nearly as good as yadif / nvidia vdpau / amd oss temporal(!).
From the lib the following should work (but does not):
HSW: Bob, MACI (*), MADI(*)
IVB: Bob, MADI
SNB: Bob, MADI (**)
Baytrail is IVB - so happy testing.
* non working: see above bugreports
** not tested

It won't be removed. Fernet's vpp branch can do both and switch on the fly (I also don't want to miss Yadif anymore). It supports the VPP modes and additionally our SSE4.2 + cpu deinterlacing.
