Okay, after a bit of research into Adobe Media Encoder CS4, I believe the On2 VP6 FLVs are automatically deinterlaced.

“Adobe Media Encoder deinterlaces video before encoding whenever you choose to encode an interlaced source to a noninterlaced output.”
https://help.adobe.com/en_US/AdobeMediaEncoder/4.0/WS877FE27E-DDE6-4c35-9158-D1E1F5DEEEF2.html

Adobe have said:
“Always render a deinterlaced (progressive) version of your video before encoding to FLV.”
https://www.adobe.com/designcenter/dialogbox/encode_video_02.html

…but I believe this is referring to Adobe Flash Video Encoder CS3, which actually contains a ‘deinterlace’ checkbox for VP6 files. I’m guessing they removed this option in Media Encoder CS4 because nobody really needs to generate interlaced FLVs.

Does this sound plausible?

Thanks Craig
I’ll have a read.

In the very short term, I have been asked for FLV files so do you think my workflow fits this brief well?

Also, can anyone help with my other question? – Whether FLV presets in Adobe Media Encoder automatically deinterlace interlaced .MOVs or stay interlaced but get badged as ‘progressive’?

Big thanks
