Hmm.. I am using kernel deinterlacing. Or at least thats what I
specify in the menu. I don't have any other exotic filters or
anything. I am playing at a 1x speed (normally) The display is
outputing onto a lcd flat panel at 1680x1050, the native resolution of
the display. I have Xorg setup to do this resolution.
I don't know how I would re-arrange the filter chain. Is this
configurable somewhere? I assume that X is doing the scaling from the
1920x1080 to the 1680x1050. Is this correct? If myth is doing the
de-int, it should be taking place before the scaling right?
I will post the output of -v playback when I get home. Anything else I
should enable?

I am using a dual-channel DVI cable from pacific cable. I am only
running at a resolution of 1680x1050. It does have a VGA input. I can
try it out, tho it'd require moving things around.
