I can confirm that for interlaced FinalCutPro-encoded clip, picture_size is the distance in bytes from the first picture header to the second picture header. So, it's picture_header_size + picture_data_size. Anatoly's encoder agrees with this interpretation.

patches applied

Please submit a patch that adds a regression test too
