Yeah, I'm still misunderstanding you. So you *are* talking about 
interlaced content on a progressive display.
3:2 pulldown simply shows every second frame for three field and 
distorts the video so it plays back slower in order to do that. It 
doesn't magically "restore" anything. Maybe some bored dev will add this 
as the next deinterlacing option. :)
