deinterlace question

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What Version of iTiVo? 1.7.5

What Version of MacOS X? 10.5.6

What download format did you select? quicktime h.264 3mbps

Hi-
I'd like to try and deinterlace some of the downloaded videos.  I looked 
through the mplayer 
manual page and found an entry for deinterlace in section 11.1.8.  The sample 
is :
mencoder capture.avi -mc 0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts \
    vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=6000:ilme:ildct:acodec=mp2:abitrate=224
Note the ilme and ildct options.

I appended the options :ilme:ildct to the end of the default mencoder line
-x264encopts 
bitrate=3000:bframes=0:level_idc=41:threads=auto:global_header:ilme:ildct

and the show failed to download.  I removed the :ilme:ildct and the download 
worked properly.

I'm inexperienced and probably just tacking the two options on the end is 
incorrect.  What would 
be the correct place to add a deinterlace option?

Thanks,
Randy

You are likely to get much more useful responses by asking on the forum instead 
of
submitting it as an issue (I'm not an mencoder expert either, but the forum 
usually
has more people who might know).

  In this case, I've never seen or heard these ilme or ildct video encoder options,
but I'm 99% sure that de-interlacing is not part of the video encoding, and is
instead part of the frame processing, in which case, delete those changes you 
made,
and try changing

  -vf harddup

to

  -vf harddup,pp=lb

it may work.  I'm not sure.  Marking this bug report 'invalid' since it's not a 
bug
report  :)
