PS2 footage is never interlaced, and FFX-2 is not exception (i've ripped them several times myself). This has to be the most bizzare thing I've ever seen.

That's the impression I've gotten from reading PS2 footage extraction guides. The mystery deepens.

From the size, I am really guessing that he is ripping from a PAL version of the disc. PAL video is 720x576. All NTSC format is 720x480. I am assuming that the guide is not made for PAL format, hence your interlaced-like problem.

That's not completely true, actually. The footage on the NTSC version of FFX-2 is 640x416. It's also 640x416 on God of War, and on FFX after you crop off the black borders. The KHII footage (NTSC) is 584x352. It differs game to game.

Your statement is true when you're talking about DVD movies.

I definetly found out it was interlacing i tried deinterlacing it with TMPGEnc
with success but i had to deinterlace it 5 times to get the best result (About 1 hr it took for Side Effects to be completly done) does anyone know of a good de-interlacing program for MPEG Files?

...wait.
Unless I missed something, TMPGEnc is an mpeg encoder (and can be used to convert to avi I guess), not a de-interlacer

did you try using avisynth with the following lines in it?
telecide(order = 0)
decimate(quality = 3)
*you need mpeg2dec3 and decomb521 or later versions to use these functions)
