Make a bugreport.  The HTML docs explain how.

You picked a lousy deinterlacer.  Try yadif, kerndeint, or pp=lb.

No.  It takes two arguements, not one.  You don't seem to have any
method to your madness.  MEncoder and MPlayer are nearly identical.  You
should be trying just WATCHING the videos with the filter options,
before you encode anything.  For instance, if you just ran mplayer on
your video with "-vf il=d" you would instantly see something is very,
very wrong.
