Body: <p>I have captured some Mini-dv home videos to .avi.
  With ffmpeg I converted to prores v2 .mov files.
  Now i need to add yadiff filter.(interlaced -> noninterlaced)
  Is is possible to "update" my files with the yadif filter without write a complete new file ?
  If not, how do I preserve my movie/audio quality/filesize while adding the yadif filter.
  Is ffmpeg -i file1.mov -vf yadif -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 2 -c:a copy New-File1.mov the best way to do this ?
  Or can I use the copy funktion for the video as I do for the audio?</p>
