Even with scaling, it's not a great idea. Interlacing is a psychovisual hack, designed to make use of your eye's motion-compensation and spatiotemporal interpolation systems. It only works if the scan lines not present in each frame are black, because your persistence of vision will fill in the black lines with the correctly motion-compensated contents of the previous frame. If you scale each field to fill the frame, you will perceive significant flicker and blurring of fine detail. The only way to reproduce the interlace effect correctly is to leave half the lines black in each frame. If you are scaling, this is basically impossible, unless you are scaling up by a factor of at least 2. A good deinterlacer is a much more general solution. --Ben
