Best command script for encoding Separate Field Interlaced files?
 

Hi!

I have been trying to encode some interlaced NTSC video with interlaced frames (preserving interlacing and fields) but in my previous attempt, I somehow got interleave fields as an output. The original source was from analog capture (the source is true analog, interlaced NTSC video - not telecined).

In another forum, I was told that separate field interlacing outputs a progressive file, which is what it did? :smack:

I have attached an image of the screen shot from MediaInfo which shows the scan type as Interleaved Fields.
The command prompts I used for FFmpeg were:
ffmpeg -i - -f s16le -r 44.1k -ac 2 -i "/mnt/Mary-1.efm.pcm" -vcodec ffv1 -level 3 -framerate ntsc -pix_fmt yuv422p10 -vf hue=h=-20:s=1.15 -aspect 4:3 -acodec wavpack /mnt/Mary-1.mkv

I need to know if there is anything I must change in the scripts to retrieve and preserve field rate and interlacing as well as video resolution?
