Bug Description
Binary package hint: totem
Totem thinks DVDs are interlaced and applies deinterlacing filters, but the fact is they are not interlaced and deinterlacing filters poorly affect image quality.
Tested on PAL DVD with and without libdvdcss and on NTSC DVD with libdvdcss in Maverick amd64 with the latest updates.

I noticed recently that DVD's played with totem appeared to shake rapidly up and down, as if the odd-numbered frames were displayed a pixel higher than the even-numbered frames. After checking the "Disable deinterlacing of interlaced videos" checkbox under Preferences- >Display, the problem went away.
I assume this is the same problem.
It makes totem quite unpleasant to use for DVD's.
I didn't have the problem after the initial upgrade to Maverick, so it may have been introduced by a later upgrade.
