one open topic here, if i didn't miss the answer yet, must
two
complementary fields of a frame come in consecutive order
directly one
after the another? This may not be the case if each field
can be an
independent reference source and when b-frames (or fields)
are used as
reference (the evil PAFF/h264 stuff).

IF that would be the case, grouping fields to frames in the
parser can
only be done by reordering the elementary stream and this
would mean
some kind of buffering. - Alternative: leave fields as they
are and
compute timestamps also for fields.
