What Deinterlace Filter does Windows Media Player 9 use?

Hi,

NTSC DV files that I have captured play back deinterlaced on Windows
Media Player 9. I am trying to produce a deinterlaced DivX encoded AVI
file using Adobe Premier Pro 1.5. However, when I use either the
deinterlacing option in Premier or in the DivX encoder options, the
result is much poorer compared to the deinterlacing done by WMP 9 on
the raw DV (WMP 9 seems to be able to retain the original framerate and
the quality of the picture (in terms of coarseness of horizontal
resolution) in it's deinterlacing method).

Can anyone tell me which deinterlace filter WMP 9 uses? So far, my
search on the web has only revealed that it uses DirectShow for
deinterlacing. I was unable to find out what deinterlacer or even what
method of deinterlacing DirectShow uses.

And if I can't get a hold of that deinterlacer, can anyone recommend a
deinterlacing filter that would yield similar high quality results?

Thanks for your adivce in advance.

The quality will always be worse than the original. (Unless you are
bobbing and thus doubling the framerate.)

I don't know.

KernelDeint or TDeint. They are plugins for AviSynth. (You can also
try SmartDeinterlace for VirtualDub.)
