How does interlaced or telecined anamorphic DVD content work?  720x480
gets scaled to 854x480 which a settop DVD will have to scale down to fit
on the TV, so the vertical resolution gets sampled down to probably
around 400 lines.  I noticed this when I was ripping an Angel DVD, which
is anamorphic widescreen, and has some interlaced parts.  (24 is also
like this.)  It looks fine on my television, but I couldn't understand
why. :)

About MPlayer not supporting playback of interlaced video: how does
dfbmga work?  Can't other vo drivers get decent interlaced output using
the same approach?

Cheers,
Jason.
