Yeah. 1080i has to be deinterlaced for playback, and the "best" way to do that is to bob-deinterlace it - in other words separate the interlaced fields, interpolate them to full height, and output double frame rate (since 29.97i has 59.94 images per second due to the interlacing).
Doing this in real-time can be challenging for a decoder! You may get dropped frames / stuttering etc... Technically, the renderer handles all this stuff. EVR likely offloads it to your graphics card, since it can do a nice job. Haali Renderer _should_ also do this, but who knows. PowerDVD has its own system, which talks to EVR / VMR9. I assume, anyway
It's also important that the audio doesn't get played at 59.94!

ffdshow can't decode the video, but that's because it's interlaced and it's a limitation of the libav codec.

Yep. Hopefully the libav guys will gift that one on us eventually!
