The next release (planned for next week) will include deinterlacing. 
Alternatively, go to http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=410 and install a 
CVS snapshot. Deinterlacing only works if you use a video device that is _NOT_ 
called "XVideo port XXX" and you have configured the Video4Linux plugin to 
use XVIDEO output (default).
