Hi Martin, Oh! Thanks for letting me know. I just assumed the conflation of the two things here.
But then, how are my output videos becoming deinterlaced? Inputs are uncompressed v210 in MOV. They're definitely interlaced, as they're digitized from an analogue source (using an AJA ADC) with all correct setup. And outputs are definitely progressive, at least according to MediaInfo. I'm just using a basic script, for example: ffmpeg -i uncompressed_master.mov -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a > libfdk_aac -b:a 128k access_copy.mp4 So how are my MP4s becoming deinterlaced? Is it a result of declaring MP4 as the output container? I thought that MP4s could contain interlaced content - am I wrong about that? Thanks for help!
