Deinterlacing is good if you plan to exclusively watch the movie on a
progressive display (like: a computer monitor).
If you plan to watch the movie exclusively on an interlaced display
(regular TV) then don't deinterlace.

If you plan to watch on both progressive and interlaced displays then
you have to deinterlace.
