[decpvr]

As a little update on de-interlacing/scaling, I've been testing out my MSI J1900i motherboard with hardware acceleration disabled.

This gives much better de-interlacing, which is fine for my requirements.

I only need it for watching SD TV (UK 576i based material), which the processor handles easily.

I'm using TVHeadend to stream freeview to XBMC.

This also appears to still be able to cope with full 1080p Blu-Ray rips.

1 of the cores will hover around the 80% mark when doing this (with the others hanging around 10-20%).

I don't know about anyone else, but this seems ideal for me?
