MPEG-2 can also code interlaced video as interlaced video (MPEG-1 cannot). I'm not sure what the percentages are, but not all DVDs are recorded as 24p, right? Those that are recorded as interlaced MPEG-2 would have to be deinterlaced either by a progressive player or by a progressive display. http://www.apl.jhu.edu/Notes/Geckle/525759/lecture10.pdf No reason to assume the player has a better deinterlacer.
