Hi
I've read some descriptions about how the de-interlacing in XBMC isn't implemented like it should be. What I've read is that:
Half the fields in ther signal are discarded, whereafter the remaining fields are deinterlaced using some kind of line doubling. Hereafter the frame rate is doubled to achieve 50 or 60 Hz (PAL or NTSC) before outputting the signal on the display interface.
However, I don't know if de-interlacing is only done like this when the source material is video based (e.g. a TV show) or it is also done like this when the source material is progressive/film based (e.g. a movie)?
Also, is the behaviour consistent across the different platforms XBMC support?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
