it's a 1frame difference if you have 100Hz refresh. I REALLY doubt a human eye
can see the difference. I bet it is something else causing you to see
disturbances. To see the 80ms disturbance I was talking about (missed frame on
TVout) you already have to watch out a little. 10ms (45 - 35) is 8 times as
difficult.
Please don't understand me wrongly: I agree that the current situation is
insufficient. I simply think that the cause of your problems is not exactly
what you think :-).

My ATI does this on HW (AFAIK), i.e. it understands it can't blit both on even and odd
frames.

You don't have 24fps source usually. DVDs, dvd rips and tv caps are either 25
or 29.9 (PAL vs NTSC). But I agree that a 24fps on TV will look sucky unless
you modify playback speed.
