If you play interlaced content on an interlaced display (or at least
you are using an interlaced display mode) and, when you use none as
the deinterlacer, playback is sometimes perfect, sometime jumping
back and forward, then it's a synchronisation problem and use of
"Interlaced x2" should solve it.

A signature of the synchronisation problem is that if you repeatedly
pause and unpause a few times, you can get rid of it for a while, and
return to perfect playback. If the problem you see is always there
then it's likely to be something else and "Interlaced x2" is unlikely
to help.
