With all the recent talk about deinterlacing, I was wondering if it's now possible to get 576i output over DVI->HDMI from xine-based output devices for VDR? I was a dxr3 user for a long time and the deinterlacing offered by A/V hardware never gave me any issues.. Now I have an A/V receiver with a HQV Realta inside so it should nicely deinterlace and upscale my image.
My understanding is that 576i in HDMI is actually done as a 100Hz displaymode where each frame is sent twice. This is because the HDMI spec doesn't allow "speeds" as low as required by true 576i..
I am using xineliboutput currently as the software output device. Of course I would prefer it to use 576i for only the interlaced SD channels / recordings and change to 1080p for media player with HD content ;)
