 Summary of the bug:

 The interlacement data between an encoded ffv1 stream and the mkv
 container appear to contradict each other.

 How to reproduce:

 Created an interlaced ffv1 mkv file.

 Check Matroska interlacement in Tracks/Video/FieldOrder with mkvinfo

 {{{
  mkvinfo test.mkv | grep "Field order"
 |   + Field order: 9 (bottom field displayed first, top field stored
 first)

 Check FFV1 interlacement with ffprobe:

 The Matroska seems to say `bottom field displayed first, top field stored
 first`
 FFV1 seems to say `top_field_first=1` which IIUC means `top field
 displayed first`. Am I understanding this wrong or is ffmpeg writing the
 wrong value in Matroska here?

 Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this
 bug tracker.
