It looks good.  The only problem for mr is that it is too processor
intensive for my machine at the moment.  Could we leave the manual select in
for the time being.  Perhaps we should implement some logic to selecting the
basic video deinterlacer depending on the spec of the machine we're running
on? Along with Tom's features flag we also need processor speed detector.
Something similar to BogoMIPS on Linux perhaps or something that times how
long doing memory copying takes.

Good idea.  Does anyone have any objections?
