Note that it is possible to encode progressive material 
interlaced and interlaced material progressive, afaik only 
the visual inspection of the material is relevant.
(You only need a deinterlacer if the input material is 
really interlaced, no matter how it was encoded.)

?

-qscale means "constant quality" (and variable bitrate as 
opposed to constant or adaptive bitrate), "2" is very high 
quality, it is normally only used for testing 
(or high quality lossy backup).
Try -vf yadif=0 and -vf yadif=1 - 1 doubles the framerate 
of the output file.

Please try to avoid top-posting, it is considered rude here.
