Sorry this wasn't clear, I thought that deinterlaced progressive video
looked the same everywhere. What I see is 2 frames above eachother
(both taking up half of the frame height) and one superimposed on top
of that (and a lot of flicker). That's why I thought it was
deinterlaced cause it looks like it sends 2 frames in the time of 1
and then 1 whole, sort of what happens with double frame rate bob I
thought? Plus, it disappears when I disable deinterlace. I haven't
experimented with other deinterlace types though.

Maybe it's of use to tell that I use via XvMC and I suspect my
deinterlacing is done in HW and that causes the problem?
