I understand the variant with processing the fields as separate streams
with two framerate instances, but not the other one. One would have to test
but the more I think about it, I think it could very well work and result
in better quality as the deinterlacing/reinterlacing obviously destroys
motion information.

One would probably have to make tests with interlaced footage that contains
a lot of motion.

It would certainly be interesting to see that filter chain, though. I
haven't worked with the il filter at all, so I would have to read up on
that first.
