May be bug in mpeg2 output? Does it look interlaced, or it just flag set
wrongly?

Its in Interface section ..

I can attach screenshot separately.

Ffmpeg dvd uses libavcodec directly, if I remember correctly. You still can
edit dvd profile, at least if you installed cingg as usual (appimage
probably can be extracted and modified too). look for dvd
