from a S-VHS tape and Dazzle DVC100, I was thinking to get an
interlaced video file.

Why? I mean: How is FFmpeg (or the FFV1 encoder) supposed to know
that your v4l input is interlaced?

Hopefully the device/v4l would pass on this information.

(And why shouldn't your S-VHS recording be low-resolution
progressive?) Maybe I miss something but in this case please
explain.

I thought s-vhs was like vhs = one field per stripe on the tape.

Maybe if what was recorded was progressive you wouldn't care assuming
v4l outputs weaved frames - but a lot of tape contains interlaced so you
would need the field dominance info for that.

Random thought - as it's analogue field input, I wonder if it's possible
that even with a progressive recorded as interlaced you could end up
with weaved frames that don't "line up".
