Your concern is appropriate. More interlaced material is being generated daily, and the largest distributor of alternative content for cinemas requires that such content be interlaced.


TTFN,

Craig, you should be happy to know that the interlace
coding tools MBAFF (Macroblock Adaptive Field/Frame)
and PAFF (Picture Adaptive Field/Frame) have been
abandoned in the new HEVC/H.265 compression standard.

Some of us graybeards are a little concerned (given that
there is 60+ years of interlaced content floating around).

To quote one of my old pals in the compression biz, "They
are all convinced that broadcast is a dinosaur and everything
will be point to point video streamed to progressive-only
handheld devices".

Yup. But your not going to see that in the big distribution pipes. What you are seeing is the move to progressive scanning at all resolutions, in which case 4:2:0 works just as well as 4:2:2 for interlaced sources.

The problem is not MPEG, the problem is iNtErLaCe.
