I have a .MTS 1080i of 25fps (mediainfo) that I deinterlaced with avconv -i input.MTS -vf yadif -c:a copy output.mp4. As the wiki says, the default value for yadif is 0 which "outputs one frame for each frame".

My question is, why does output.mp4 have 50fps? Also, is it normal that it is much smaller than the input?

As requested:

The original file is 25 fields per second and 50 frames per second are required to preserve correct motion. The fact of the matter even youtube uses 25 frames per second and loses half of motion. That is just wrong.

Other than that -crf 18 is needed to get good enough quality.
