So they don't include a postprocess filter which can do things like
hardware-accelerated deinterlacing? One of my aims is to playback 1080i
DVB and without a deinterlacer the results won't be very good. Does VA
support deinterlacing? If not we need a way to deinterlace a VA surface
in software. Hopefully it's straightforward to access the "raw" data in
a VA surface in a way that existing deinterlacers can work on.
