I have the following interlaced H264 file:

Stream #0:0[0x335]: Video: h264 (Main) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p(tv, bt470bg, top first), 720x576 [SAR 16:11 DAR 20:11], 25 fps, 50 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc

And this is a frame from the source video: enter image description here

When I use:

ffprobe -show_frames -i source.mpg | grep interlaced_frame

All frames are interlaced:
interlaced_frame=1
interlaced_frame=1
.
.
.
interlaced_frame=1

I whant to transcode this file and keep interlacing and try to do it with the following command:

ffmpeg -i source.mpg -vcodec h264_nvenc -flags +ildct+ilme -acodec copy -f mpegts out.mpg

after transcode the same frame from the "out.mpg" file is looks like follow:

enter image description here

This is a console output:

How to correct transcode H264 file to H264 and keep interlacing via h264_nvenc codec?

    The output is flagged as interlaced and with the same order as source. The output screencap looks like the field pair mismatch in your player, or ffmpeg dropped frames during encode. What does the console output say?

  • @Mulvya thank you for the help! I updated the question the problem in nvenc encoder. Please check this issue. Have you any ideas?

  • @Mulvya As I understand from your post on ffmpeg forum ffmpeg.gusari.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3078 ffmpeg is not supported interlaced encoding via nvenc. Is this correct at the moment for ffmpeg 3.2 and nvenc sdk 7 ?

It's an issue with new video drivers. Everything is fine with video driver 361.28 and lower. I already sent this issue to NVIDIA Support with Reference Number 161118-000164

UPDATE: This issue has been resolved from the 375.39 driver.
It allows keep interlacing on Pascal 10x video cards.
