there's no de-interlace atm. i've added it to my TODO list again.

for scaling you can use pdp_scale, but doing this on an interlaced image
might not do what you want though. the scaler is a simple bilinear
interpolation.

if you got a decent card and cable, RF is quite ok, but S-Video is better
of course.
