[MPlayer-users] what is deinterlacing for?

[christopher j bottaro]

heh, i've already read that site.  along with another website called "myths 
about deinterlacing".  i guess what i'm looking for is a very dumbed down 
answer...=)  the latter site says that deinterlacing is good when creating 
divx's, but bad when creating vcd's.  is this true?  also, what happens when 
you try to deinterlace something thats not interlaced?  also, one website 
says that you deinterlace with mencoder with -npp -ci, but i couldn't find 
those options in the mencoder manual, all i could find was -vop lavcdeint, is 
that the right one to use?

thanks,
