Deinterlacing?

Hello,

Could there be any chance of work on deinterlacing?

I thought I would patch in a very simple deinterlacing system (repeat one 
field, drop the other). But I just could not understand the code enough to do 
this :( 

This kind of deinterlacing should be kid stuff for anybody who knows this code 
well... And it works practically as well as all that linear blending stuff; 
in fact it produces less artefacts. 

Only inverse telecine can do *really* better (if the stuff is telecined). But 
I understand that even adding a hook for that can be a real hassle. When a 
hook is there one can try adapting code from mplayer or transcode, but the 
hook migh take too much developer time. 

Yet what about a field-duplication solution, which should probably be enabled 
from the command line at least?
