Almost all content on DVDs is telecined, not interlaced, so
deinterlacing is rarely correct. Even if it is, pp=md or kerndeint is
your best bet usually. ci and li are completely useless, and lb, l5,
and fd all produce ghosting artifacts. I wrote a document on it a long
time ago and submitted it to mplayer-docs list, detailing why all the
deinterlacers suck... dunno what happened to it. :)
