Way too many DVDs are interlaced/telecined though.

Or worse, some hellish combination of both, because the producers edited different sources together. It makes scaled footage, panning, and some motion look really awful or jittery once you notice it.

Blu rays don't necessarily escape this either, as they butcher the conversion to 24p and then you can't even fix it.

For all their problems, streaming giants usual do this better. Amazon (and probably Netflix) had employees hanging out in the doom9 A/V forums long ago.
