it shouldn't be that hard, disable all the deinterlacing and see how
much CPU it uses, then try the different ones to see which gives you
the best output for the amount of CPU your willing to use. Bob is
quite popular for HD material, and there are two new ones, Greedy and
Yadif to try, I believe Yadif is the more popular of the two, though
you'll want to search through this list to see what people say.
