[FFmpeg-user] DOWN CONVERSION ISSUE: From MXF (1080i AVC Intra) - MBAFF "interlacing" to DVCPRO

[Iban Garcia]

First of all, many thanks for your help, Tim.

My command is:  ffmpeg -y -threads 8 -i input.mxf -b:v 50000000 -s 720x576
-pix_fmt yuv422p -aspect 16:9 -an -r 25 -vf setfield=1 output.dv

OUTPUT:
# ffmpeg -y -threads 8 -i input.mxf -b:v 50000000 -s 720x576 -pix_fmt
yuv422p -aspect 16:9 -an -r 25 output.dv

I am testing the "setfield=1" video filter. But I think I have to patch my
code first.
