+  <option>-vf filmdint</option> is similar to
+  <option>-vf pullup</option>: both filters attempt to match a pair of
+  fields to form a complete frame. <option>filmdint</option> will
+  deinterlace individual fields that it cannot match, however, whereas
+  <option>pullup</option> will simply drop them. Also, the two filters
+  have separate detection code, and filmdint may tend to match fields a

+  video and personal taste; feel free to experiment with fine-tuning
+  the filters' options if you encounter problems with either one (see
+  the man page for details). For most well-mastered input video,
+  however, both filters work quite well, so either one is a safe choice
+  to start with.

-  <blockquote><para>It is OK, but IMO it tries to deinterlace rather
-     than doing inverse telecine too often (much like settop DVD
-     players &amp; progressive TVs) which gives ugly flickering and
-     other artifacts. If you are going to use it, you at least need to
-     spend some time tuning the options and watching the output first
-     to make sure it is not messing up.
