Deinterlace and crop?

[Tappen]

Whenever I turn on a de-interlace filter, the crop keys no longer work. My 1080i recorded TV shows need de-interlacing but also often have a couple rows of garbage pixels at the top and there's no way for me to fix both using Vlc that I can find.

Any ideas?

I tried using command line args like -crop=0+4+0+0 and at least this way something does happen but the cropping is still all messed up with any de-interlace filter on: far too much gets cropped and the aspect ratio is messed up.

Thank you DJ, I understand that will work for transcoding, but I'm just trying to play locally, and it doesn't work in that case.
