Quicktime won't deinterlace on export

The subject says it all but I'll elaborate: when I try to export DV footage to any other format the result is always interlaced ( the combing effect). This occurs even if I check the "Single Field" box in the video properties. This means that even though a DV clip plays back deinterlaced and fine, when exported in QT it goes back to being interlaced.
Anyone else have this problem?
(I have QT 5.0.2)

I'm hardly an expert but I see the same thing. Just started trying to learn about different codecs. I've made a few different DV clips then tried exporting them with different codecs at different settings. The Divx codec I have is absolutely the worst. The file is small but unwatchable. 3ivx is OK but the comb effect is pretty strong. Sorenson 3 makes a bigger file but it looks much, much better though the combing is still present to some extent.
Are you going through a change of image size the same time you compress the video?

I need help with this right now too. I have a bunch of DV footage in Final Cut Pro from work and of course since it is NTSC it is interlaced. Is there a way to export from Final Cut Pro (or any other program) to create a single field movie. Final Cut Pro lets you select the field dominance but does not let you combine them as far as I can see.
I am trying to export Cinepak movies at 2048kbps and to play on Quicktime and Media Player on client's computers. The only problem is that you have to manually turn on High Quality and Single Field in Quicktime (and these options are only available in the Mac version).

The only solution I've found for deinterlacing is Media Cleaner, which does a great job of it, but is eye-gougingly slow, on top of which the compression never seems to be quite as good from Cleaner as from a straight quicktime export. If anyone finds a deinterlacing alternative I'd love to hear it.

I figured out how to do it in Final Cut Pro, there is a de-interlace video filter. BTW I am using Final Cut Pro 3 on OS X if that makes a difference.
Just go under Effects / Video Filters / Video / De-interlace
You may have to render the video before you export it because my first one did not turn out right. But after it is rendered (takes a few minutes) the export to even a codec like Cinepak takes just a few seconds.
I still haven't found a way to keep High Quality turned on all the time for my videos, is there a certain Codec I must use that will always show a high quality picture no matter what the processor speed or OS?
