Usually not. Depends on how the camera is architected, but usually the DV compressed image comes out of the S-video. Even so, your S-video input will also likely use come compression...

So, how about a different question? Why do you need to deinterlace? I am assuming to do better "light saber" type effects? Why do you need to reinterlace? You could deinterlace to 30p...
