Found this. Apparently, the deinterlace function when exporting in iMovie09 doesnt work.
http://www.macworld.com/article/139124/2009/03/export720pimovie09.html They've written a work around there. I hate iMovie09. Hated iMovie08. Just another reason not to use it. If you don't have Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express is far superior to iMovie.
