Interlacing and rescaling (with "normal" algorithms) doesn't work 
together, the result will look awful. Then it also won't help (or 
hurt) to switch on interlacing mode. You would need a interlace-aware 
resizer (which I don't know of to exist in mencoder). 

If you really have to resize interlaced material, deinterlace it first, 
and when encoding then, the interlacing flag should of course be off.
