I've hooked up my PAL TV via a VGA->SCART RGB cable.
I use an X modeline with the "interface" flag that results in a mode with
25hz FRAME rate which is 50 hz FIELD rate.
Playing some interlaced files without deinterlace (but with OpenGL video
sync, and video as a time base) results in the fields being shown out of
order. (other files work OK) or to a 25FPS playback rather than pseudo 50hz
(see my "What don't I get here" posts)
So as recommended I enable bob-deinterlace.....
2007-06-20 23:04:08.802 The realtime priority setting is not enabled.

2007-06-20 23:04:09.024 Video sync method can't support double framerate

'video_output' mean = '40538.84', std. dev. = '16889.77', fps = '24.67'
Notice the line......

(refresh rate too low for bob deint)
To me this looks like Myth has seen that the mpeg is at 25FPS,
has looked at the video mode and seen 25FPS also,
but bob-deinterlace effectively doubles the rate to 50, oh dear we don't
support that....use onefield instead....
WRONG in this case!!
We are using an ****INTERLACED**** mode so we can support the full 50hz just
at half the vertical resolution!
So yes it looks like Viktor's patch is correct after all....
Now to do my first compile of Mythtv....
Cheers
