In mplayer's defense, after reading through your first note I went
back to its man page and realized that I had missed the "interlaced"
option to the yuv4mpeg output.
-vo yuv4mpeg:interlaced
is certainly an improvement for my material.

Even better. Brilliant.
I'll also check out that older version of Project X to see if I have
better results (and thus a more streamlined process than my current
one ... )
Thanks!
