Interlaced and TV

[vigi_lante]

I don't know if this is the right forum to bring this subject, but since deinterlace issues are so constant here...

I play all my capture videos using XBOX's Media Player or Center (that's based on Linux's mplayer), and the Xbox is connected, of course, on a TV.

I thought that if TV would be my target display, it would be not necessary to deinterlace the video, like DVD. But playing a interlaced video on Xbox, it just like play a interlaced video on a PC.

Anyone know why ?

Thanks.

cause the video, you try to playback get scaled.

but interlaced content needs a 1:1 reproduction on a TV. overy scaling (like a VideoCard's Overlay does) destrroys the interlaced video, becoming combs getting visible...

Another possibility is that you have the wrong field order.
