This bug has been opened here: http://bugs.debian.org/304717 "Start totem and play a DVD. Then enable deinterlacing (View->Deinterlace). After that take a screenshot. It has only half height (1069x480 pixel in my case). For a screenshot, the best available (and probably slowest) smoothing algorithm should be used. The picture could be streched to full size, but then half of the information is lost -> bad quality."
The deinterlacing is done by the video adapter, not the front-end, so we can't possibly capture the data out of there. See bug #144932 about doing post-processing ourselves, which would allow us to capture as it appears on the screen.
