No, the option is meant to tell the scale filter that it has to adapt its operations for interlaced content. > *yadif*, of course, does the actual deinterlacing. Yes. > 2.

(But it is a bad idea anyway.) "Scaling" and "Chroma-downsampling" are the same insofar as they are both done by the scale filter. Did you already tell us if the content you see is actually interlaced? As said, please find out what top-posting means and avoid it here.
