I wondered about doing that too, but presumably the input to this
process is 1080i60. When you deinterlace it you'll have the choice
of producing 1080p60 or 1080p30. I'd have imagined that 1080p30
would look less smooth than direct playback of the original
source with a lower-quality deinterlacer, and 1080p60
would be require too much grunt to playback.
