DVD '-target' option affects video filters

[intracube]

Trying to convert an interlaced video which isn't a valid DVD resolution (such as 1920x1080i) to either 720x576@50i or 720x576@25p DVD video using '-target' stops video filters from working properly.

The -target option looks like it's re-scaling the video *before* the -vf video filter chain. This messes up the field interleaving and stops de-interlacers like yadif from working.

Encoding without using '-target' works as expected.

Examples:
This creates badly de-interlaced video:
ffmpeg -i 1080i.MTS -vf yadif=0,scale=720:576 -r 25 -target pal-dvd -aspect 16:9 output1.mpg
(I can paste console output if necessary - but I could see no errors there)

This creates clean de-interlaced h264 video:
ffmpeg -i 1080i.MTS -vf yadif=0,scale=720:576 -r 25 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset fast -c:a ac3 -ac 2 -b:a 224k -aspect 16:9 output2.mp4

This creates clean de-interlaced mpeg2 video:
ffmpeg -i 1080i.MTS -vf yadif=0,scale=720:576 -r 25 -c:v mpeg2video -b 8000k -c:a ac3 -ac 2 -b:a 224k -aspect 16:9 output3.mpg

• but this isn't compatible with dvdauthor.

What was the reason for removing a lot of the ticket keywords?

The full-text search works well and I am trying to keep the number of keywords manageable.
I also don't think video and filter are good keywords, and I am assuming the problem is also reproducible without -target when using the corresponding options, deinterlace is too general imo and preset is simply wrong afaict.

As it's over 800 lines long, it would mean a lot of scrolling to get down to these comments.

I've just run this test again, and I can't reproduce the bug. I can only think I was running the older version of ffmpeg (installed through my package manager) rather than the up-to-date locally compiled version.

I thought I double checked that, too...

Sorry, this ticket can be closed.

Thank you for testing again!
