Hi i am using vdr together with a LCD-Tv. Since the deinterlacing algorithms of the Tv are quite bad, i would like to connect the computer via DVI to the TV and do the deinterlacing with my computer. To keep my installation small and fast i do not want to use X and concentrate therefore on DirectFB. First i tried mplayer and tvtime to test if they meet my requirements but the results where negative. I was not able to feed mplayer with the decoded video stream from /dev/video0 and the developer of tvtime seems to concentrate on Xv output. While i was able to use tvtime with DirectFB 0.9.20, i get a segfault using it together with the newest cvs version of DirectFB.
Hence i plan to develop my own application. I want to use the deinterlacing algorithms from dscaler and directfb as frontend. Now i have a few fundamental questions about the way the dvb-driver handles mpeg decoding. Can the hardware decoder on a DVB-card perform progressive decoding? If not, is there information in a mpeg stream about the original video data source (telecine material or tv-camera) for film mode detection, and is this information available via the dvb-driver? If such information can be contained in a mpeg stream (perhaps a flag or something else), are there at all tv-stations which provide such informations correctly ? Can such information be obtained from DVDs, which are played via vdr and the hardware decoder (via mplayer-plugin or dvd-plugin) ?
