Hmmm. You are right. Yet, is is remarkable that MEncoder broke om PAFF
interlaced files at almost the same moment as MPlayer. The only way I
can use newer MEncoder with this file is by using the telecine filter
with really bad results:

mencoder -mc 1 -vf scale=448:256,harddup,telecine -aspect 16:9 -sws 2
	-of lavf -lavfopts format=asf -ovc lavc -lavcopts
	vcodec=wmv2:vbitrate=336 -oac lavc -lavcopts
	acodec=wmav2:abitrate=64 -o wmvwma.wmv 00005.MTS

Without the telecine filter I get all kinds of A/V sync errors.

There must have been a similar change in mencoder.c at about the same
time, I guess. Or the change was elsewhere in the code, affecting both
MPlayer and MEncoder...
