[FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg Prores encoded mov when switching to single field display in quicktime crashes quicktime

[Rens Dijkshoorn]

This is problem is hard to describe, but I will give it try.

It shows when opening an interlace file in the Quicktime7 player
on OSX 10.10.5 in my case and selecting single field in
the movie visual properties.

You would expect to see interlace artifacts being removed
as the player switches to single field. This happens only momentary.
If you switch "single field" a few times on or off,
a few seconds later Quicktime7 crashes.

The same with dnxhd and other prores materiaal is fine.

This "problem" exists for a while previous version
and in both codec for prores and prores_ks.

To generate visible interlace articfact in the clock
on the second boundary we shift frame phase by one field.
