It depends on whether your content is interlaced or not, and whether
you'll be scaling. Remember that conversion between subsampling
formats (422/420/etc.) is a form of scaling. If any scaling takes
place at a point where your video is interlaced, it must be done in
interlaced mode or it will ruin your video (blend the two fields
together...).
