pullup,softskip

[bubilullo]

I wish to convert some footage from telecined NTSC to PAL.

I tried different mencoder commands, but only the -vt pullup,softskip function seems to work well.

The question is now the following.
Does ffmpeg deinterlace or ivtc using this function? If yes, in which way?

If no, how can I improve the following command to generate a Quicktime readable file with the best possible quality (even adding an external codec)?

mencoder orig.mpg -vf pullup,softskip,scale=720:576 -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=15 000:vbitrate=8000:keyint=18:trell:mbd=2recmp=2ubcmp=2:cmp=2:dia=-10redia=-10:cbp:mv0:vqmin=1:lmin=1:dc=10 -ofps 25 -o film25.mpg

Thanks for any kind of help
