VCD's are interlaced, and sometimes it is done horribly wrongly. Many recent NTSC dvd's are progressive 24fps, but a surprising number of NTSC dvd's are interlaced, and many of those from China are interlaced crazily, apparently to make them look like VCD's. Fortunately, if you use '-x mplayer="-vf yadif"' you can get very good results from even crazily interlaced source.
