Do any of you brave souls who are mucking about with Panther know if the new DVD Player has de-interlacing?
I popped a DVD into my new 15" Al & was appalled at the interlacing artifacts in the 10.2 DVD Player.

Rumor has it that yes, Panther has deinterlacing.

Uh, maybe.

There was a thread about this a few days ago in the Mac Ach at Ars.

I checked out that Mac Ars forum & it seems like nobody over there knows for certain. Does anybody have any personal experience with Panther's DVD Player?

Take this as you will, because I wasn't paying that much attention, but in an earlier build, seemed like in the 30s or so, I remember there being some sort of deinterlacing, but it wasn't quite right - some bars and artifacts appeared all over the place. In 7B80 which I'm using now, it looks like they've turned deinterlacing off as I see significant combing in a DVD that came from a video source. Can anybody confirm this?

De-interlacing would be great. Watching DVD derived from video on my computer is painful. VLC can do de-interlacing, but my iBook is too slow to take advantage of it.
