tfields=1 is a modified median deinterlacer in addition to separating
fields, which gives full size frames as output. Keep in mind that this
will require INSANE bitrate to encode and INSANE cpu power to play
back... IMO it's much better to encode the original interlaced video,
then use a filter like tfields to watch it later... This does not work
with mplayer G1 (G1's tfields is for mencoder only), but G2's tfields
filter works great for watching interlaced video.
