[MPlayer-users] Interlaced playback?

[Jozsa, Karoly (MED)]

Hi,

When playing a DVD with mplayer, the moving elements have horizontal spikes
on the screen. This is because the film is interlaced (2 fields in the
frame), but mplayer displays it progressively. The Windows PowerDVD e.g.
recognizes this and plays it without the "spikes".

Is there such a feature in the mplayer (I cannot find it)?

It may be a silly question, excuse me, I have been using linux for a week
only.
