Pressumably only if the content needs deinterlacing.

I think the hard part is determining if the content _needs_
deinterlacing.  For truly interlaced-at-source content (i.e. video
tape), I think this is more difficult.  But for progressive-at-source ->
telecine/3:2 pulldown content, this is pretty standard.  Even software
players like mplayer can do it (inverse telecine).
