I've seen all sorts of weirdness when trying to use Radeon cards for Xvideo
output. Which driver and version are you using? Have you tried the
proprietary ATI Catalyst drivers? Have you tried different deinterlacer
settings? Have you tried different Video Renderers (e.g. Xv, OpenGL, XvMC,
etc)?

My experiments made me swear off ATI cards in favour of nVidia for the
forseeable. :-(
