[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 283058, member: 14004"] Well technically it isnt, and that is my fault for giving that impression. :sorry: Set FFDshow as your output renderer - for whatever you want. I set it for my mpeg2 and h264 renderer and dont even bother installing the MPA/MPV codec with the installation of MP. then, in the video decoder configuration under the output setting, there is a check box labeled "Set interlaced flag in output media type" which was formerly labeled as Hardware deinterlacing. Give the tooltip a read as well - what it does is set the interlaced flag on the video when its being output. then the actual video renderer (in MP's case, the VMR) will see that its interlaced video and apply the deinterlacing video settings you have set under the video filter settings in the MP configuration. If your card supports VMR deinterlacing in hardware, then it will be done in hardware. It's a very powerful feature, unfortunately its buried under so many other options that the average user would never know this. Im sure a lot of people think like you Kev, but ffdshow is much more than a post-processor.
