I just tried it, i removed all filters but harddup and added interlaced 
to the x264encopts and quicktime could open the file and recognized that 
there was a h264 stream but it could'nt display it. It worked fine in 
VLC but i saw a lot of this in the Messages Window "ffmpeg warning: 
MBAFF + spatial direct mode is not implemented  (h264 at 00B584B0)". I 
tried to use direct_pred=temporal but that is not supported either. 
direct_pred=none stopped the complaints from vlc. Mplayer showed the 
same behaviour of course.

Well, i can live with the deinterlacing. Would have been nice if i 
didn't have to do it though.
