DGIndex will tell you if the content is interlaced or prograssive, when you do the processing (it says 99% FILM for example).
Or you can just step in the original frames using tMPGEnc, and you will see if they are progressive or interlaced. But if they are interlaced, it does not mean that the content is really interlaced. In general the content is progressive (FILM) converted to interlaced NTSC with 3:2 pulldown telecine.
I don't know exactly, but when you call "progressive-scan DVD players" might be players that can do the de-telecine and feed the HDTV with decoded progressive frames, istead of with the interlaced NTSC frames. I'm not a DVD player expert.
