But as the author says, it is better thought of as re-interleaving, because the two halves originated from the same frame of film, thus eliminating the "moton blur" distorton of true interlaced video.
So if you take a frame and divide it into the two halves for recording the even lines first then the odd lines, when you play back those and re-interleave you reform the original frame.
If the main basis for the progressive player being better is the elimination of "moton blur," the progressive player reconstructs progressive video when film is the source and therefore can be legitimately thought of as progressive video.
If the source is from an interlaced video source, TV tape from the Tonite show, etc. then the video will still have any "motion blur" that would occur shown interlaced even though it is output in a progressive format.
