mplayer doesn't convert it, but it also isn't possible for mplayer to
sync to video refresh. so there is no way to actually play interlaced
video with mplayer. it should work 'mostly' correctly as long as your
timers are accurate, but every once it a while it may double or lose a
pair of fields and look very bad.
