It outputs exactly what is in the file, which is progressive frames.
For the frames that were flagged to be displayed for 3 fields duration
instead of 2, this is indicated in the structure returned. For frames
that were flagged to start on the bottom field, this is also
indicated.

Yes, this is what will naturally happen if you just consider the
output as progressive frames at 24000/1001 fps and ignore the flags.

Well it's not _extremely_ annoying, but members of this community are
generally pissed off by threatening extralegal legalese and
nondisclosure demands. If your company insists on appending this crap
to your emails, are you sure they even want you to be emailing public
lists from your company email account?

BTW, please don't top-post either.
