You'll laugh, what can I do if the interlaced info is in the container ?
I have some mjpeg a bottom field first, and info is in "fiel" atom.
I'll fix decoder, but I need a way to supply that info.
What do you prefer ? Adding a field to avctx ? (and we could get rid of
the -top option in ffmpeg)

Unfortunately, not JPEG.
