I was thinking about this. It must be because mplayer and Xine use the 
graphics card to do this partially in hardware. The hardware will also do the 
image scaling. Jörn, would it be possible to use mplayer or Xine to decode 
the video, and perform the de-interlacing and scaling (almost for "free"), 
and then use transcode to do the encoding. This should provide a massive 
speed boost.
