[FFmpeg-user] Need help generating field based Program Stream

[kumar vikram]

Hi Bouke,
Thanks for your prompt response.

For me the idea is to get field based interlaced streams to test some of my
implementation. Maintaining frame rate is not an issue with me.

I tried with tinterlace too but not to my luck.

ffmpeg.exe -y -i INPUT -c:v mpeg2video -flags +ildct+ilme -vf
scale=interl=1,tinterlace=interlacex2 -b:a 256k -aspect 16:9 OUTPUT

Can you please suggest if I have missed any option?

Regards,
Vikram
