> Did you test without the line?

Yes, I did a test without the line for libav 4.0.3 and just now with the latest 
snapshot, with and without the line.
I did not find a good explanation how interlaced content is encoded with 
mpeg-2, 
but from the source I can make the following observations:

Interlaced content consist of an odd field and an even field and these are 
stored 
as seperate frames in the mpeg-stream. The decoder decodes both fields and 
merges 
them directly in the resulting frame. This saves us an extra image processing 
step
if we would output this frame to an display immediatly. (beside the point, we 
don't,
we would need to deinterlace these frames first or output it to an encoder card 
as 
interlaced content) 

As the original source contained captions, these were added to the fields in 
the 
mpeg stream. As these two fields are merged into a single AVFrame we also get 
two 
sidedata packets of AV_FRAME_DATA_A53_CC. And we need both!

With the line av_frame_remove_side_data: sidedata AV_FRAME_DATA_A53_CC of first 
field
is discarded.
Without the line: Each AVFrame contains AV_FRAME_DATA_A53_CC twice.

Please add the patch without av_frame_remove_side_data. And do not consider of 
merging 
the AV_FRAME_DATA_A53_CC sidedata, as this will make analysing these closed 
captions 
more difficult (then which data belonged to which frame)
