Enable Deinterlace in Mplayer

Computers however, do display full pictures, typically at a rate of at least 60 pictures per second. So to get optimum quality when displaying TV-material on a computer, the player can convert the alternating half-pictures to full pictures. That is called deinterlacing.

If you have ever watched any interlaced video, you might found that watching interlaced video on LCD is not funny at all. There are too many lines periodically appearing on screen and you have to watch them line by line. So it would be better to deinterlace them to watch smooth frames. Since I usually play video files in mplayer, I will show you how to deinterlace in Mplayer.For more details,see man mplayer.
