I am surprised it's that much faster. Had I known that before, I would probably add interlaced support to that one. Too late now though, as I don't feel like doing the same work twice.

Progressive is hard to analyze, as you don't have any landmark byte sequence following picture data that you can look for. I can confirm that for interlaced FinalCutPro-encoded clip, picture_size is the distance in bytes from the first picture header to the second picture header. So, it's picture_header_size + picture_data_size. Anatoly's encoder agrees with this interpretation.
Therefore, I am attaching 2 patches. The first one just fixes the picture_size field and the second one implements interlaced encoding.
