If you use Final Cut Pro you can easily alter the speed of the video percent by percent.

You could use Adobe After Effects or Adobe Premiere. All you need to do is to deinterlace the footage and adjust the speed of the footage to 50% and the result should be a smooth slow motion effect. This technique should actually work with any Non-Linear Editing software.
Cheers!

The smoothest slomo I know of is achieved by splitting each frame into the two fields, interpolating the fields using something like the photoshop de-interlace plugin, then alternating each field over the timeline giving each the time value of a whole frame.
This can be acheived quite simply in After Effects and it retains all the information of the original footage. It has the effect of halving the field oscillation.
