Hi Vikram,
What do you expect? If the source is progressive, an interlaced output will 
have two fields taken at the same time, thus still look progressive.
If the framerate does not change, besides doing this for being compatible 
with streams that must be interlaced, there is no reason to do so.
If you do want to change the framerate (eg from 50p to 25i, or add 
pulldown), there is logic. Have a look at the Tinterlace filter.
hth,
Bouke
