Comment (by robert_s):

 Taking a closer look at the sample stream, it appears that field_seq_flag
 is 1 in the VUI, but the SEI indicates pic_struct = 3, for which Table D.2
 of H.265 says "field_seq_flag shall be 0"...

 What does "pic_struct = 3" actually mean? That one picture is both top and
 bottom field, i.e. that the "deinterlaced" output would have every line of
 the picture doubled?

 How would that be implemented in ffmpeg? Can that output method be
 specified in AVFrame, or does the decoder need to do this before passing
 the AVFrame?

 I found that H.264 has the same value for pic_struct, so I looked at the
 H.264 decoder sources how pic_struct = 3 is handled there, but it doesn't
 seem to do anything other than indicate interlaced content. Am I missing
 something or does the H.264 decoder also not support this pic_struct value
 properly yet?
