Yeah, I think it might not work for a transmission that was mostly
bottom-field-first frames, with a few progressive ones thrown in,
because the progessive frames would be treated the opposite way to
the rest, which is what gave you bad motion before your change.

That's right. Setting the field variable to 1 causes the function
to use the current frame rather than the previous, which is what
I think we want for progressive frames.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking.
