No clue how to properly cut dv stuff. (it's ages since I had to deal with dv stuff; AviDemux might work)
Then we try to get some info by you doing tests.
(I assuming you got 'Synth auto refresh' on)
If you load the file and open the Avisynth preview (QTGMC should be enabled by default) is the preview still interlaced?
Does disabling 'Filtering->Avisynth->Misc->Source->LibavVideoSource insttead of FFmpegSource' change the preview?
Does this effect only happen if you enabled sRestore or also without it?
Can you share a debug output of the analysis of the source?
Also encode a few seconds (use cut support; 100 frame should be enough) of a scene with vertical movement and share that with me. (just to make sure the output also looks interlaced content encoded progressively here too)
Does the deinterlacing + despot + sRestore properly work for you in Vapoursynth? (I know that DeSpot isn't as usable, this is also to get some more data.)
Cu Selur
Ps.: going to bed now, but will look at it some more tomorrow after work.
