Yes, but the MPEG standard actually has two algorithms you have to use
depending on whether the content is progressive or interlaced.  And
many (if not most) progressive DVD players do not do it right, which
is known as the chroma bug.  See

for a detailed discussion.  It mostly talks about upsampling for
playback, but downsampling has the same problems.
