 Replying to [comment:4 clam]:

 libavcodec and libswscale.

 I don't think this "information" exists at all: The interlaced flag in
 MPEG streams just tells you if the encoder was set to "interlaced" not if
 the content actually is interlaced. At least where I live, all dvb streams
 are encoded as "interlaced", both the progressive streams and the (live)
 interlaced streams, so the flag does not help in any way. We also have DVD
 sample streams where this flag does not help in any way.
 FFmpeg contains a filter that detects if the content is interlaced if you
 don't know in advance.
