 No problem. Good to know that this is the right way to determine framerate.

Good.

I have done so now. They appear almost identical (as far as I can tell using gimp). The commands I used were:

ffmpeg -i start.mkv -map 0 -c copy -c:v libx264 -vf "fps=30000/1001,fieldmatch,yadif=deint=interlace" -crf 17 -preset veryfast fieldmatch-yadif.mkv

ffmpeg -i start.mkv -map 0 -c copy -c:v libx264 -vf "fps=30000/1001,fieldmatch" -crf 17 -preset veryfast fieldmatch.mkv

both of which produced:

Frame #8158 at 272.239 is still interlaced time=00:04:32.25 bitrate=2560.3kbits/s
[Parsed_fieldmatch_1 @ 0x6c7357b3e0] Frame #8159 at 272.272 is still interlaced
[Parsed_fieldmatch_1 @ 0x6c7357b3e0] Frame #8160 at 272.305 is still interlaced

among many other similar lines in their output. I picked this run because it was the longest. Most were 2 frames.

Then I used 

ffmpeg -i fieldmatch-yadif.mkv -frames 8170 /var/srv/media/videos/Testing/Postal/jpegs/fieldmatch-yadif-%d.bmp (and without the -yadif) 

To get the relevant frames.

Ok, I'll ignore that flag.

Done. I've put them in robbins-fieldmatch-yadif.tgz in incoming.
