I recommend using a VGA -> SCART cable... then you will have very precise 
control of what goes to the TV....  I had a problem like you using PAL 25FPS 
on a 50Hz interlaced TV... I wrote a patch which doubles the framerate for 
interlaced modes... I now use it wil BOB deinterlacing and the result is 
silky smooth!

Here's the patch.... do with it what you will... I submitted it for inclusion 
in trunk but it was rejected because it's flawed in it's logic... all I can 
say is on my setup it's the only way of getting smooth, fluid motion.... the 
devs told me to use the myth-vid branch instead!!
