Hybrid always encodes TFF on BFF MPEG2 to AVI

[Hushpower]

I'm trying to encode a BFF MPEG 2 file into a UT Video AVI with QTGMC Bob. I have set the "overwrite input scan type" to BFF.

The encode always comes out progressive but with the TFF.

The source MPEG 2 is on Google Drive here:

The forum won't accept my attachment. I click in the Attachments box, choose the file then click "Open", the window closes back to the message but nothing happens after that.

What? You can't have progressive and a scan order,...

When I load your file, Hybrid properly detects it as bff and the UT video command line looks like:

-vcodec utvideo -pred left -slices 0 -flags +ildct+ilme -vf setfield=bff -pix_fmt yuv420p -colorspace bt709

, when "UT Video->Interlacing" is enabled and set to 'auto'.

=> share a debug output of what you are doing and I'll look at it after work.

I can't paste text to quote it. 

The top field frame is coming out first (from QTGMC Bob).

Debug attached on Google Drive, thanks Selur.

There's something wrong with the forum's attachments system. I'm using Chrome (Win11) and after I select the file to be attached (MPG or a ZIP), nothing happens.

Oh well, there it is, it's attached.

attachment worked,..

Had a quick look at the debug output, according to the debug output:
32bit Avisynth QTGMC was used for deinterlacing, but there the wrong field order was used:

AssumeTFF()
QTGMC(Preset="Fast", ediThreads=2)
# scaling to 768x614
Spline36Resize(768,614)
# setting output fps to 50.000fps
AssumeFPS(50,1)

(as a workaround, using Vapoursynth instead should fix that)
=> will look at it after work

In Avisynth, it's also fixed, if you set "QTGMC Avisynth->Order" to "-1".

Send you a link to a dev version which removes QTGMC Order, which should fix the problem.

Excellent, thanks Selur, the dev version works a treat.
