as ive said already, you have a guranteed timestamps once every 0.7 seconds
this can be always on the first field or always on the second or randomly

the current code cannot interpolate timestamps for h264, building code on
the assumtation that the current would work for the first field seems
strange. But you can point me to the section of H222/264 that supports
your theory about conseutive field timestamp relation.

Besides the only point of not merging fields to frames is to support
cases where this is not possible, your assumtations seem to still
include the mpeg2 field pairedness that allows the fields to be merged.
