Hmm. So a dv on a consumer camera tape is interlaced. But if I import it 
using a forlorn, but not forgotten, program called kino,

ffprobe JulyPlay2005-2005.07.24_15-06-27.dv
.........
Input #0, dv, from 'JulyPlay2005-2005.07.24_15-06-27.dv':
   Duration: 00:04:51.55, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 28771 kb/s
     Stream #0.0: Video: dvvideo, yuv411p, 720x480, 28771 kb/s, PAR 8:9 
DAR 4:3, 29.97 tbr, 29.97 tbn, 29.97 tbc

kino must deinterlace it. And here I thought all this time it was 
progressive on the tape.

Live and learn.
