Homebrew Mplayer_CE + deinterlace filter?

[jachall]

Hello:

I'm trying to get a deinterlace filter working with Mplayer_CE. I figured the easiest method is to add the necessary line(s) to mplayer.conf. However everything I've tried does nothing. From the documentation, I should be able to add "vf=pp=fd" which should enable ffmpegdeint (ffmpeg deinterlacer). I've also tried adding the line "vf=pp=al" to enable autoadjust for brightness. Still it does nothing. How do you use video filters with Mplayer_CE? Thank you very much!

I ended up getting the solution to this on another forum. The problem seemed to be that you need to use "vf-add" instead of "vf", so it should look like:

vf-add=pp=fd

This got the deinterlacer working as it should. It made the video a little choppy, but it's applying the filter.

Thanks!

How choppy are we talking about? And what format/size was the file you played?
I would be eager to enable deinterlacing for my standard .AVI movie (~700mb), but if its adding extra slowdown, its probably not worth it. Let me know please, I'm curious.
