Because you only supplied 540 lines of input...

Thomas I think he has already extracted the individual fields and they 
now exist as discrete image files. Now he wants to turn them back into 
an interlaced video.

ISTR that mencoder managed that somewhat better than ffmpeg, but now 
ffmpeg supports mencoder filters it may be possible directly. I think 
having the input rate twice the output rate was involved somewhere.

Someone must remember.

However Francois is using a very old version of ffmpeg.
