To use it, you will have to install the xineliboutput plugin with my patch applied, and then activate the bob filter in <code>~\/.xine\/config_xineliboutput<\/code>:<\/p>\n<p><code>video.device.xvmc_bob_deinterlacing:1<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Now, run <code>'vdr-sxfe --video xxmc'<\/code> to watch comb free TV (on <a href=\"http:\/\/nvidia.com\">nvidia<\/a> cards). To use <em>xvmc<\/em> instead replace &#8216;xxmc&#8217; with &#8216;xvmc&#8217; in the patch, note that I tested this with the <em>xxmc<\/em> driver only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since purchasing a full-featured DVB card, I always wanted to test the popular VDR package.
