[-v_preproc] <preproc mode>
    Video preprocessing for certain input sources.
        0: None (for progressive video input).
        1: De-interlace but preserve the size.
           E.g. 640x480x30 interlace to 640x480x30 progressive.
        2: De-interlace but halve the size.
           E.g. 640x480x30 interlace to 320x240x30 progressive.
        3: De-interlace, halve the size, and double the frame rate.
           E.g. 640x480x30 interlace to 320x240x60 progressive.
        4: De-interlace, halve vertical size, and double frame rate.
           E.g. 320x480x30 interlace to 320x240x60 progressive.
        5: Inverse telecine from 30fps to 24fps.
        Default: 0: None.

Does Windows Media 8 Encoder Utility give us 3/2 pulldown?

BTW, ATI _did_ implement adaptive deinterlacing for Radeon.

dTV often gets confused with DTV (e.g. the current "can a PC replace a
line doubler" thread on AVS Forum).  I wonder if maybe we should
contemplate changing the name to something more distinctive.  Downside
would be losing what brand recognition we've built up, but I think
the benefit (people knowing that we're talking about something other
than digital TV broadcasting) would outweigh that.

Before we start spewing out potential names, I'm curious to hear if
anyone else thinks it's even worth discussing.  I imagine some folks
will be very much against it and I'd like to hear why.

Steve -

I've wondered about that from the beginning.  I guess we could always keep
the dTV association by just adding something corny to the end of the name.

You know.  dTVplus+ or dTVsharp "Now with Enhanced Wonderfulness!".  Change
the name with a new release with some extra features and no one would even
notice we had doubled the price. ;)

Hi,

Yes, I agree that there is a lot of confusion.   We should do a 
name change eventually.   Any suggestions?

How about "DeinterlaceTV"?  (Nah, probably terrible)

Not sure about Netscape, but IE launches an external image viewing app
to view TIFFs.

The TIFF files won't be any smaller than the PPMs.  A couple hundred bytes
bigger, in fact, due to more complex headers.  I didn't feel up to
implementing compression code last night, and it's not clear to me that
you'd get good compression on captured images anyway.  TIFF compression
is a lossless run-length encoding scheme so even slight noise would kill
your compression ratio.

Steve -

I strongly agree that we should not compress images (unless it was
optional).

People look at our comparison screen shots with a magnifying glass and it
would just muddy the waters.  We would be trying to debug dTV to remove
gif/bmp compression artifacts.

And it's very easy to compress them after the fact if you want too.
