Comment (by Marton Balint):

 I am not sure what is the expected outcome. You wrote it yourself, the
 stream contains both progressive and interlaced content.

 What ffprobe reports is most likely based on a small section (in the
 beginning) of the file which it uses to probe the h264 parameters. A smart
 encoder can choose the frame encoding mode (interlaced or progressive) on
 a per-scene basis, so what ffprobe reports should depend on the encoding
 mode of the first scene of your capture.

 Why is this an issue for you by the way? Can't you just handle the content
 as if it would be interlaced all along?
