Right, and it's horrible. It's in between the interpolative and blend
deinterlacers, so it mostly throws away the odd lines, but blends them
slightly, giving ghosting. It doesn't look _too_ bad on live action
material, but on animation you'll get horrible ghosts from black
outlines. In any case it's highly incorrect and only looks decent
sometimes by chance.
