Nonsense.

DVD's are encoded as 60i (in the NTSC world). The player must reassemble
the two fields to generate a progressive frame. If the source was film,
those two fields will be from the same time, so the results will be reasonable
if the player was able to identify the correct pair of frames to combine.
