Hi. I'm sorry, I can not answer all of the questions, but I do my best in
the ones I can answer.

Interlacing and interleaving is not the same, nor does it exclude each
other. I think the files are progressive video frames interleaved with
audio chunks.

Those are the colourspaces MPlayer (i.e. the scale filter) supports. To
find out about the colourspaces your hardware can handle, use e.g. xvinfo.

> I would like to try playback without any filters and see what happens.

Just to see how it looks you could use two instances of MPlayer, one to
decode a video to a raw stream, and another one to display that raw
stream. If you set the raw parameters on the decoding MPlayer differently
than on the playing one, you will get an impression of mismatching
colorspaces.
