X264/Avisynth wrong parameters

[asafb]

Hello,
I'm using QSource plug-in for AVISYNTH along with x264 for blu-ray encoding. My avs file is:

QTInput("proress1080i.mov")
AssumeFPS("ntsc_video")

When running x264 it reports it as:

avs [info]: 1920x1080p 1:1 @ 30000/1001 fps (cfr)

The fps portion is right (29.97fps)
however it is NOT 1080p --- the file is 1080i! Is this a bug?
Thanks!
Asaf.

did you set --interlaced or --tff (top field first) flag in the command line? you have to tell the encoder to encode as interlaced

since most prores are 4:2:2, don't forget when you convert to yv12 to set interlaced=true for interlaced sources (since you are encoding to 4:2:0 for h.264)

ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)

x264's avisynth input module will now only tell x264 that the video is interlaced if it is field based video. This is because too many things incorrectly say that video is interlaced. See the commit here: http://git.videolan.org/?p=x264.git;a=commitdiff;h=2efd119bbe485c70f637efc8ba089eca61808711

use --bff or --tff on x264's commandline to set the proper flagging for whichever field is first.
