In my limited experience, watching UK Freeview recordings made with VDR,
using Xines TVtime deinterlacer, with the progressive frame flag option
set, deinterlace is on all of the time including video derived from a
progressive film source, which is wrong.
I think it is safe to rely on this flag for deciding on whether to convert
colour space in fields or frames, but it seems it gives you no clues
whether to deinterlace or not.
