I've used the .4 version on my laptop and main computer and saw bad
interlacing.  Is there some way to deinterlace the video?

What are the advantages of reading from the backend as opposed to
either from an SMB share (which seems rather jittery on my system over
11g) or by using the url for each recording from MythWeb (which
provides a smoother playback on my system, although I have to actually
copy the url from mythweb into wmp9)?

Since I'm running the CVS verion of myth, which has a different
mythbackend-mythfrontend protocol than .14, I assume that the filter
that connects to the backend won't work on my system?

Thanks for the hard work and the time to answer my questions!
