Carl Eugen said on Dec 19, 2012: "To the best of my knowledge, only visual inspection tells you, ..." so, what I did and all the 4 files, (FFV1/h264, with/without -flags +ilme+ildct) are definitely interlaced without any doubt. However tags are not consistent: FFV1 with -flags: interlaced_frame=0, top_field_first=0 FFV1 without -flags: interlaced_frame=0, top_field_first=0 h264 with -flags: interlaced_frame=1, top_field_first=0 h264 without -flags: interlaced_frame=0, top_field_first=0 Questions: - How to get interlaced_frame=1 with FFV1? - Could you confirm top_field_first=0 means bff and really what is in the file? - BTW I have read bff is the usual setting for DV, do you agree I should keep it like that? _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
