Remarks
Remarks
As well as interlaced or progressive, the video may be indicated as PsF (interlaced structure but material from a progressive source).

Note that systems should be aware of the metadata flag MBAFF in AVC compressed video which gives interlaced output in baseband.
Some material will be mixed, and it would be very useful to log changes within files.

Also note that interlaced material with no movement is indistinguishable from PsF.
