I don't know how you can get access to incoming, but thanks for the shot. My method works for most dvds, this one source is the exception rather than the rule.

IIUC, combmatch=none will label no frames as interlaced. So you wouldn't get any errors like I am getting no matter what. I added that option to my command and it didn't complain anymore, but it did still produce interlaced frames. 

I tried changing the extension to mpg and I had the same output as before. I had assumed ffmpeg was smarter than that.
