Thanks for the detailed info...
yup, you are right. Interlacing problem. Since gxine was working
fine, I decided to snooping around and find out what settings it
was using, and guess what, it IS using (LinearBlend)
deinterlacing. 
I tried to configure gmplayer to use deinterlacing, but couldn't
find the option in the GUI.

In the preference section of gmplyer you only get handful of
options that you can configure, where as in gxine you get tons &
tons of options to fiddle with.

I guess I am ready to say goodbye to MPlayer.

Thanks
