I have checked all the fate results. In every case the handling of
progressive material within an interlaced stream has led to vertical
softening of the final material leading to differences in the checksums.

This resubmitted version is the same as the original, but includes the
updated checksums.

For interlaced material I have tested using the same settings as fate.
The results show the integrity of the interlacing is maintained leading
to an improvement in the final results.

To make best use of this patch more accurate interlace detection is
required, perhaps based upon picture content and not flag settings.

Whilst this is beyond the scope of this patch it is already a work in
progress by others.
