the main reason why nvidia chooses to deinterlace always even if you use an interlaced video timing is not the scaling problem you mention. This could be eventually solved (albeit not perfectly) by scaling both fields independently. The main reason is: even with VDPAU there still exists no synchronization between stream and video timing. That means there will be an arbitrary amount of lost/doubled fields with current VDPAU implementation. Nvidias workaround now is to deinterlace all content in any case. As a result these field losses are (mostly) not directly visible to the human eye. Ceasing from deinterlacing here would reveal field sequence problems (caused by missing stream-synchronization) immediately.
