You can remove the comment ("//") in front of #define DEBUG 
on top of libavformat/mov.c and use -loglevel something 
but I prefer hexdump -C
(I thought ticket #1881 was from you, but I was wrong: 
It shows that at least Dumpster isn't always useful.)

If you could do one more test, search for a svq3 file - 
Vertical400kbit.sorenson3.mov - remux it with unpatched 
FFmpeg and verify that video still plays with QuickTime, 
then use my patch and replace movenc.c line 1135 
("if (track->enc->field_order != AV_FIELD_UNKNOWN)") 
with something like "track->enc->field_order = AV_FIELD_BB" 
and remux again.
If the file changed but still decodes, the patch should 
really be sufficiently tested;-)

Thank you, Carl Eugen
