Readd a simple bob deinterlacer

[anonova]

As per the policy for removed features, I'd like to request readding the tfields video filter (or something equivalent).

In mplayer/mplayer2, I used tfields=4 as a simple bob deinterlacer for 1080i transport streams. Although using yadif=1 (or 3) would be more ideal, even my Core i7-2635QM is unable to keep up with it, i.e, I get the "Audio/Video desynchronisation detected!" message.

libpostproc provides bob deinterlacing. You can try with: --vf=pp=li
There are some other deinterlacer modes available too, see manpage.
Can you test whether that works for you?

(If you have vdpau, you could use its hardware deinterlacing and hardware decoding.)

Aha, thanks! I wasn't aware libpostproc had deinterlacing filters. I always thought it was only for denoising, deblocking, color correction, etc., so I dismissed it when reading through the man page. But yes, pp=li and other modes work as expected!

I unfortunately have no devices that support vdpau.
