I did a test with FFV1 input file and x264 output:
./ffmpeg -debug 1 -i /Store3/Test/t_20150810_1016.mkv -c:v libx264
-preset slow -qp 0 -flags +ilme+ildct -aspect 4:3 -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a
wmav2 /Store3/Test/test2_interlaced.mkv

ffprobe says:
interlaced_frame=1
Very good, I keep FFV1 encoder for intermediate files

I'll no bake dvds but record mp4 or mkv files in dvd supports.

Many thanks to all of you
