Sure there is. It's called 3:2 pulldown.
I've *made* TV fairly regularly for over 20 years. With my sister's
mythbox, with a -250 or -35o for capture and a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT
for TV out, I'm perfectly happy with the quality of the output picture,
in luminance, saturation, and temporal aspects. I'm *quite* picky.
So it can be done.
I'll note that since we're using TV out and a video monitor, we don't
*have* to deinterlace, and as long as you're[1] not using a progressive
scan monitor, you[2] don't have to either -- and doing so will screw
things up.
