Is it possible to take a .VOB or .M2V file, and inverse telecine it so that the output is still a .VOB or .M2V and so there isn't any compression? I just want to know if this is possible, because I have some DVDs where the video is interlaced, but the original footage is shot at 23.976 fps, and all of my previous attempts at inverse telecining them ended looking horrible because I converted the DVD files to .MOV's, inverse telecined those and then converted the new inverse telecined files to dvd. Really, really bad idea. I just want to know if there is better solution to this problem, where I don't do any recompressing or file conversion. Thank you.

It is possible to inverse telecine an mpeg program or elementary video stream without converting it to an intermediate format, if IVTC is required. You will still have to re-encode it back to mpeg-2 at the end of the process, and apply pulldown flags to allow it to be authored. Even progressive DVDs must be flagged to allow for interlaced playback.
Start by searching for posts on IVTC. There are a lot of posts on this topic. Most will recommend avisynth as the tool of choice, although if the needs are simple, virtualdub might suffice.
First and foremost though, you need to be able to confirm that a) it is telecined, and b) what the pattern is.
To help narrow your search, I would look for posts by a user called manono.Read my blog here.

If you IVTC it and want to stick it back into VOB, you'll have to reencode. I have no idea why you created an intermediate MOV file, though, when you can go directly back to MPEG-2.
The best way to IVTC (the only way, as far as I'm concerned) is by using one of the IVTC filters in AviSynth. This assumes a hard telecined source (the telecine encoded into the video). You might provide a small 10 second sample of the kind of thing you're talking about. -

Many of the suggestions will not work on a MAC (or they might with bootcamp, not sure) -

When you play the DVD, it should look normal on a NTSC system -

IF you do see combing or artifacts, something is either wrong with the DVD, the way it was authored, or your hardware setup
Maybe you can post a sample, as manono suggested -
Here's my sample:

Are you saying you see combing artifacts when you play the DVD in a standalone DVD player? -

I think needs to be telecined (i.e. pulldown applied) to play on a normal NTSC DVD player (as DVD-Video), because that is the signal NTSC spec equipment accpets.
It should play normally even on PC's if you use DVD player software (ie. it should IVTC on the fly) -

You want to inverse telecine (or remove pulldown), but that is done by the DVD player or DVD software player. That's why it "looks" normal -

Thanks for the clarification, manono
So you are saying that most DVD software players (on the PC) are actually deinterlacing, not IVTCing ?
But even if you removed pulldown or IVTCed, how could you make a real DVD (as in DVD-video) without re-encoding ? Is that even possible at 23.976? -

Telecined video has duplicate fields added to progressive 23.976 video to convert it to interlaced 29.97fps. When going frame-by-frame through the video, of every 5 frame sequence 3 are progressive and 2 are interlaced. With pure interlaced video on the other hand, every frame is interlaced. The former can be IVTC'd back to progressive 23.976. The latter should be left alone.
