[MPlayer-users] tvtime-like smooth TV playback?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

Is there some way to get mplayer to play tv:// from my analog TV card 
just as smooth as tvtime does with it's "Motion adaptive: Motion search" 
deinterlacer?  Everything I try with mplayer results in video that looks 
like it's running at half the frame rate (and thus very choppy) than 
tvtime or a real TV.  It looks like mplayer does 25FPS while tvtime 
seems to do the full 50FPS of the PAL signal.
