No video filters work with -vo xvmc

They're all *completely* ineffective when used with xvmc.  The thing
is, unlike other filters, they are just quietly disabled when xvmc is
enabled, rather than causing mplayer to crash like most others.

If you look at the output of mplayer using xvmc and pp, you'll see:  
  Couldn't open video filter 'pp'.

The only deinterlacing option with xvmc (AFAIK) is make it output
half-height, which you probably don't want to do with your HDTV videos.
