1. A method for de-interlacing, comprising the steps of: (A) determining a plurality of target mode values for a target pixel using a motion detector circuit, said target pixel being synthesized to convert a current field into a current frame, wherein at least two of said target mode values are based on both (i) a plurality of original pixels and (ii) a plurality of synthesized pixels in a plurality of synthesized frames; (B) generating a plurality of candidate values for said target pixel using a plurality of interpolation techniques that includes a motion estimation interpolation utilizing a particular one of said synthesized frames; and (C) selecting a particular one of said candidate values for said target pixel using an interpolation circuit in response to said target mode values.
