In the AU I had to:
-use YADIF interlacer in 2x mode
-make sure my refresh was just above 60hz (like 60.5 or so)
-turn OFF vsync!!!!  (this was the killer)


Turning off vsync make the video very smooth and got rid of the jerkiness.
Theoretically there should be some tearing at some point but I've never once
seen any.
