So you have missed in the howto the section: Creating MPEG2 Videos, and there the subsection: Encoding destination TV (interlaced) or Monitor (progressive) ?
When you record from a VCR at halfe size, you have no interlacing. So
you do not need to think about that.
At full size, you have interlacing, for a monitor you might want
deinterlace, else leave the interlacing as it is. The default values
should be rather failsave. And create a interlaced movie.

I've read it. I'm making dvds from dv. I'm playing the dvds on a player (Zenith dvb318) that converts to progressive ( deinterlaced - right? ) connected by component to a 49" hdtv (panny 47wx49) that also claims to convert to progressive.
1. All consumer camcorders produce interlaced bottom-field-first dv.
2. All commercial dvds - film or video based - are interlaced.
3. consumer dvd players are used to interlaced dvds and , if they have hardware deinterlacing - e.g. Faroudji DCDi- are at least as good at deinterlacing as software - i.e. mjpegtools.
4. Therefore, if you make dvds from interlaced materials, leave them interlaced, even if you are going to play them on a progressive hdtv.
Whew. Do I have this correct?
