I can see the difference here.  The "Advanced/2X" deinterlacing spends more
effort on motion prediction/compensation, for smoother playback with less
blurring of movements on screen.

The "Temporal/2X" deinterlacer is also very good, but the difference can
be seen as slightly more motion blur compared with the "Advanced/2X" mode.

ASUS markets a fanless GT-530 card that uses heatpipe cooling.
But what's remarkable about it, is that it takes up only a single PCIe slot width,
very unusual for high-performance fanless cards.  Since it has 96 "shader engines"
(little CPUs), it can handle all of the current VDPAU features without issue.

The card is also low enough height to fit inside an Antec Fusion case,
with space to spare.  Still a "full-height" card though.
