I believe there is an issue, I opened ticket #5794.

There are at least two reasons why your above assumption is not
generally correct: There are two ways to do interlaced encoding for
h264 (paff and mbaff), the - quality-wise - best h264 encoder only
supports mbaff and the issue you see is most likely paff-related.
I usually see paff-encoded material in mpegts (how did you record
the sample?) and for mpegts, the correct 25fps are shown.

Thank you for the sample, Carl Eugen
