I'm not sure how to tell - I got the 5000 from dvdinfo.exe (windows
program), from memory.

So it's quality or smoothness, but not both :(

I don't quite understand why quality is lost from de-interlacing.

I'll stick with 30fps - not sure what my player does with a 24fps rate,
since I believe it doesn't have 3:2 pulldown capability.

I'll test it out when I get a chance, meanwhile I have a fully converted
DVD to watch (well actually it's for my daughter to watch since she got
the DVD for her birthday 8 months ago but hasn't been able to watch it).

I'll try going down to -q 4 too.
