Both greedyh and yadif looked good when I tried them.  The problem I
had then and the reason for my current reservation was that I couldn't
easily compare them with my current standard of Myth and bob 2x.  My
nvidia drivers have a suspected bug which prevents running
mplayer/xine after using MythTv (and vice versa) without resetting X
Windows first.  IOW, I had to log out and back in every time I wanted
to compare things.

My only suggestion would be a better way for the filters to explicitly
describe their 2x capabilities/requirements.  The checking for
"doublerate" and now "doubleprocess" in the filter name is kind of
klugy IMO.  Fixing this would probably require a filter ABI change
which might or might not be desirable.

Ah, that could explain it.  That's one more reason to port yadif also.
It already supports yv12.
