That may have been true a few years ago ; but not anymore. Video cards
only contains 3D hardware acceleration, they do 2D using the 3D
shadders.
You need rather good video cards to do things like the OpenGL hardware
accelerated deinterlacer.
You won't get OpenGL Yadif 2X and the like unless it's a good 3D card.

The 8400gs is *just* good enough for VDPAU, it can't do most of the
good deinterlacing mode
