I don't think you understand. The video file from the encoder card marks
whether the fields are in order or out of order. If you make them in
order, and then display the frame at the PAL/NTSC frame rate, any sane
driver will display the odd fields and even fields in the correct order.
It is only if you have the frame rate set to something other than 25 
frames per second (in a PAL country) that what the driver should to
do is underspecified.

If you set the frame rate to 50 Hz, then you can can problems like the
ones you are experiencing. In this case, the best filter to use is
something like the kernel deinterlacer.
