This refers to audio/video interleave, not interlacing.

try passing mplayer '-vop pp=fd' This uses the FFMpeg Deinterlacer. Your 
machine should have no problem doing this in real time.

If it doesn't work, it's because the video was scaled without being 
deinterlaced, and you can't really get rid of it.

Also, have you tried recording video with nupplevideo yet? (I mentioned it, 
along with some options to use with mencoder in another post)

It should be able to handle 640x480 captures at full framerate.
