(Apart from the question why you want to destroy your video 
in a way that makes it impossible to display it correctly on 
any modern display:)
I wonder how you will get an interlaced video if both input 
and output are ~30fps? I would assume that you have to halve 
the frame rate if you want to interlace your video.
