You don't want to de-interlace if you are aiming for a DVD release. Most de-interlace filters throw away half the information, and interpolate.

What you want to do is to try and reconstitute the original 24fps progressive frames, by doing a true 3:2 pulldown, and fixing any dodgy frames. Then you can encode the DVD as FILM 24fps Progressive, and people with HDTV sets and progressive DVD players will get an awesome experience, and people with normal DVD players and normal TVs will get a normal experience anyway (as their player will turn it back into an interlaced signal for DVD)
