 "detection" works, I find it much more likely that your whole stream gets
 deinterlaced.

 suspect they are different, somehow.

 Of course: The original file is sent with the interlaced flag (for the
 whole file); since you (I) did not specify the interlaced option for the
 transcoding (-flags +ildct+ilme), the output file does not contain the
 interlaced flag (that has absolutely nothing to do with interlaced
 *content* but only interlaced encoding which is always used where I live,
 no matter if the content is interlaced and a deinterlacer is needed or if
 the content is progressive - the reason is that from a broadcaster's
 point-of-view, encoding progressive material as interlaced only has a
 minor overhead while encoding interlaced material as progressive costs a
 lot of quality).
