Deinterlacement and Post Processing
VLC is able to deinterlace a video stream using different deinterlacement methods. Deinterlacement can be enabled in the Video menu, Deinterlacement menu item. The Blend methods gives the best results in most cases. The discard method is a less resource consuming alternative, although its results may be slightly compromised.
On some particular streams (MPEG 4, DivX, Xvid, Sorenson, etc.), some additional image filtering can be applied to the video before display, improving its quality in some cases. This can be enabled by using the Post processing menu item in Video. Different levels of post processing can be chosen here. A higher level means more filtering.
