With my slightly older version of ffmpeg 2.6 I don’t see what you mention.
Source is 30fps BTW between start of 56 57 and end of 58, is 3/30 of a second, so no progress seems OK to me. Also I don’t see ‘interlace-like’ artefacts. The 60 one shows something like interlace on the bottom half of the second hand, 61 is OK again. Unless you watch these stills, one frame duration is 0.03 sec, so you won’t notice. At least I can’t see it in QTplayer.
But I do see it with VLC.
