The aim is to store as much as possible on my backend... So while I
don't mind the reduction in the resolution, seeing such obvious
interlacing effects is really crappy.

This isn't the only DVD showing these artefacts.

That's the thing, the original DVD looks very nice and doesn't exhibit
such problem when using either VLC or mythfrontend...

So obviously the issue comes from the ripper/converter..
