I'm not going to drag my old sony tv from the shed to test that theory! But the deinterlacing is noticeably better when the source is set to video (actually the picture is quite good). There doesn't seem to be any documentation on this "progressive" feature anywhere or how a "film" dvd differs from a "video" dvd.
