The 2nd line makes the 1st line redundant. Either way, I think myth
can discern whether deinterlacers are needed or not. There is no way
to make a setting to distinguish between interlaced and progressive
content in the playback profiles. So if it was a problem your current
setup would still be trying to deinterlace 480p and 1080p content. I
just setup the deinterlacers for everything in my playback profile and
I have never scene any issues with my progressive content. If you want
to make certain I would guess you can check the logs during playback
and see what it says there.

However, your 8400GS can't do advanced 2x at 1080i. It may be worth
while to take a few minutes and see what the max resolution you can
get to with Advanced 2x, and also find best deinterlacer that will
work with your 1080i content. I would guess you would end up with
something more like:

>=1280 x 720 ----- temporal 2x

< 1280 x 720 ------ advanced 2x fallback to temporal 1x
