Yes but they still have to consider it as interlaced for processing.
And this requires having two complete equal sized fields. I mean I
could make it add a black line to one field if the size is bad, but
this seems silly..

You can crop if necessary.. These filters aren't meant to be used on
random encoded files you find on the net, but canonical streams from
tv broadcast or dvd..

Yeah, interlaced material will never have non-mod4 height, at least as
long as it's from a legitimate source (tv broadcast, etc.). If some
moron captured it, all bets are off, but in that case they probably
already ruined the interlaced video with scaling, bttv yv12 mode,
deinterlacing, etc. anyway..
