The X1 has an exception scaler, and in fact does not take a progressive input at all (it only accepts interlaced and has built in scaling to convert to progressive).
I think almost any DVD player will suit your needs, you can feed it component (using the component to S Video adapter cable that hopefully was provided with the X1).
Tons of info on the X1, www.avsforum.com see the under $3500 projector forum, best resource to learn about the X1 and network with other owners for tips.
Have a great new year.

As they almost all come with progressive outputs, just make sure the one I get is defeatable (or are they all?). Thanks so far Dan...

  I stand corrected, as users have been able to feed 480p to the X1 by using a component to VGA adapter cable.
  The X1 has either svideo inputs for interlaced or the VGA input can be used for a progressive signal it seems.
  Defintely chek out AVS forums, tons of discussions you can search, or start your own thread with questions.

  This guy jcebedo1 has tricked out his X1 to death is a big authority on using this projector. He even offers mods to improve performance

  Note I am not affiliated with this individual in any way nor do I know the quality of his work. However, he seems like a real enthusiast, and I bet you could e-mail him and get some spot on suggestions an info for your X1.
  He reports that feeding the 480p was better than using interlaced, so this may solve your problem, assuming you can buy the adapter cable.
  Best of Luck! I hope to try an X1 or something similar myself soon. The built in DCDi proessing should be a real boon to lesser sources like VCR or TV.

    As CES is going on right now, there may be some stunning new models or price drops on the near horizon. If the infocus doesn't 100% satisfy you, you may have many other options, depending on what is shown at CES. Keep your eyes peeled for updates.
    Good luck!
