I was reading the definition of hard telecine and it says that the frame pattern is progressive, progressive, interlaced, interlaced, progressive or 3:2. However, I have a anime DVD where the pattern is progressive, progressive, progressive, interlaced, progressive or 4:1. Is my DVD hard telecined?

Hard telecine doesn't have to have the 3:2 pattern. Other patterns are possible -- your 4:1 being one of them. Either way, this is not conclusive evidence that your source is hard telecined. Some programs display the video after performing the soft telecine pulldown -- so soft telecined material will show interlaced frames. What software did you use?

Honor Pulldown Flags will perform the pulldown so that you see comb artifacts -- but this is the only setting that will keep A/V sync with variable frame rate soures. Ignore Pulldown Flags ingnores pulldown flags (like VirtualDubMod) but may leave you with the wrong frame rate. You can fix it with an AssumeFPS() unless the frame rate is variable. Forced Film will work with 23.976 fps sources with pulldown flags. It won't work with other frame rates or variable frame rates.

My goal is to deinterlace and convert the framerate to 24 pfs. It appears that the interlaced frames are a composite of the two progressive frames on either side of it. It occurred to me, the easiest way to deinterlace would be to delete every fifth frame (in other words, delete the interlaced frames). This would result in 24fps and no interlaced frames, right? -
Yes, just throw out the interlaced frames. That's why that pulldown pattern is used with 24p DV -- the processing is simpler.

1. If for NTSC, don't ever use Ignore Pulldown Flags. It's almost a recipe for audio desynch. If there are any soft telecined portions at all, you're screwed. If it's anything but 100% Progressive Film, use Honor Pulldown Flags as it's much safer. In the DGIndex Manual, neuron2 says this about using Ignore Pulldown Flags:
If the pulldown is irregular, use of this option will cause the audio-video sync to change at different parts of the clip, and most likely sync will not be acceptable. -
manono and jagabo
Thank you for the information. I will use "Honor Pulldown Flags" in the future. My original question was geared toward better understanding hard telecine patterns and also determining how to truly determine the interlaced pattern of my DVD source.
I did write a avisynth script that skipped every 5th (interlaced frame) and, just like manono said, there were parts of the video that had inconsistent patterns of interlacing (on occasion there was a interlaced frame every 4th frame). I went back to using animeIVTC(mode=1, aa=0) and everything has been fine so far. Thanks again
