I just want to chime in and say this is potentially the best news I’ve heard in ages.

Thanks for the great work!

Since I know I won’t be able to read them, I am not buying Bluray (too expensive anyway compared to VoD or DVD). Their loss (given the bad sales, il seems they do start to care ) …

Bluray is at this moment practically impossible. The decryption of the streams can not be done real time. Oh, the codecs exist already, it’s just that the DRM is more serious.

Ha ha PulseAudio.

Yay dvd-playing though.

Great news. I’ll happily switch to the GStreamer backend when this stuff hits my distribution.

Thanks Jan & Sebastian

@Tom: yes, Sebastian Dröge has been fixing up a brand new deinterlacer plugin based on the deinterlacer code from ‘tvtime’. The tvtime deinterlacer stuff is by many considered the best in open source (and maybe beyond?). The deinterlacer stuff is not integrated fully in the autoplugging yet though, so it currently needs to be manually added to the playback pipelines.

Nice. Does Totem/GStreamer support any kind of deinterlaceing?
