If the original source is actually interlaced, use "-vop pp=lb" or one 
of the other deinterlacers. If the original source is film and the 
recording you have is NTSC interlaced MPEG-2 at 29.97 fps, it has most 
likely been telecined. Try using "-vop detc=dr=1" to reverse the 
telecine process and produce 23.976 fps uninterlaced video. In that 
case, you probably need to specify "-ofps 23.976" as well. Read about 
those options in the manpage.
