Well, as it turns out it seems that the encoder is "doing the right thing" for me (despite my being confused ;)). I remembered I had a copy of 'dvdview' installed and using that I can see that mpeg2enc is generating 'top field first' : PictureHeader: temporal reference: 3 picture_coding_type: B vbv_delay: 65535 fullpel forward mv: false fullpel backward mv: false fcode[0][0] (fw/h): 3 fcode[0][1] (fw/v): 2 fcode[1][0] (bw/h): 4 fcode[1][1] (bw/v): 3 intra dc precision: 9 picture structure: frame picture top field first: true frame pred frame dct: false concealment mvs: false q-scale type: 1 intra vlc format: 1 alternate scan: true repeat first field: false chroma420type(obsolet):0 progressive frame: false This does raise the (idle) question of how would one create a MPEG-2 progressive encoded movie? HD-TV can use 1280x768 progressive as one of its resolutions. > I would use -S 420_mpeg2 at the ppmtoy4m stage instead of > resampling by y4mscaler as above. Why? I have to rescale from 720x540 to 720x480 which means going thru y4mscaler. Seemed logical to have it do the chroma conversion at the same time.
