DivX disc and play.
Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the entire picture (odd scan lines,
then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and
detailed picture without visible scan lines. What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two interlaced
fields (odd and even), where each field contains every
other horizontal line in the frame. 
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and then
the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating gaps left
by the odd field to form a single frame. 
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are displayed
every 1/60th of a second.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing a
still object. Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the
interlaced scanning process by which a video image is
drawn in a series of passes.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects.
