Or you knew which 2 fields went together
You always know what two fields go together. Odd with odd, even with even. Unfortunately matching each set only gives you half a frame. You need both sets of fields if you want to reconstruct a WHOLE frame, and there's three ways to do that:
(1) Fake the missing fields by interpolation or duplication. This typically looks ugly, unless you reduce the number of horizontal scanlines by 2.
(2) Blend the fields together. This looks better, but leaves ghosting artifacts.
(3) Just stick the two fields together, which gives you those messy interlacing artifacts.
