shouldn' deinterlace be a record option ( not a playback option)?  If you 
de-interlace it before you encode it it will be smaller and should look
much better.

question:  when playing on a tv does this setting do anything?  Can you
           see the difference?  The output is interlaced so does it look
           better or worse?

regarding sse, amd processers come in three flavors:  3dnow, enhanced 3dnow,
and proefessionall 3dnow:

3dnow -- no sse ( k6's maybe)
enhanced - part of sse - athlon
professional 3dnow - all of sse ( sse2) -- athlon XP

look for Athlon_XP_WP.pdf on amd's site ( whitepaper)

I'm not sure if interlacing uses enhanced or prefessional.  I can tell
the difference on my slow amd 850.  Unfornately I can capture with
greater than 240 scan lines anyway without dropping frames.  so it is 
a moot point.
