FWIW, the documentation may say that formats are always TFF, but on the wire,
it seems the bottom field actually goes first.

(I guess this is a bug that isn't noticed because there's actually no way
from the API to get at the individual fields)

Or bgra (internally, uyvya4224, I suppose).

I'm not convinced you ever want to set this to false, as what's happening if
you do is simply that the SDK applies a vertical blur to incoming interlaced
frames. FFmpeg has much better deinterlacers if that's what you want.
