Have I made myself understood? Do you see the problem?

...progressive.&.scan-int.here... 'select' ...only.progressive.here...

But scan-interlace frames are getting through the 'select'.

Either,
1, 'select' is broken, or
2, 'fieldmatch' is broken, or
3, 'fieldmatch' is setting a different flag (not 'interlace_type').

How do I proceed?
