I asked this question on the video4linux list and I'm not sure that everybody answering the question understood the question as well as the mpeg2enc tool.

My understanding is that in the US NTSC is broadcast bottom field first. Thus, the TV will display the bottom field, then the top field. I am caputring from a US broadcast. Now the bttv driver alledgedly delivers frames top field first, although streamer doesn't set the interlacing tag in the yuv4mpeg header. Consequently, I set the interlacing flag to "top field first" in the yuv4mpeg header when I pipe the yuv file into mpeg2enc. Now mpeg2enc has an option "--playback-field-order" which can be set to play bottom field or top field first. Should I be setting this to bottom because bottom fields are broadcast first in the US, and hence should be played first?
