Try

TFM().tdecimate()  #inverse telecine, gives 23.976fps progressive
vinverse() #removes residual combing
spline36resize(720,576) #DVD format
assumefps(25) #speedup to PAL

What is your intended playback format? A new, fixed DVD or MKV/MP4?

mkv

There's so little movement it's hard to tell, but I think it's field blended. Why it's not easy to de-interlace, I'm not sure. Maybe the re-encoding did something, but it's a job for QTGMC.

Square pixels:

QTGMC()
SRestore(frate=25)
CropResize(0,0, 6,62,-6,-64, InDAR=15.0/11.0, ResizeWO=true)

Square pixels, height resized:

QTGMC()
SRestore(frate=25)
CropResize(708,0, 6,62,-6,-64, InDAR=15.0/11.0)

PAL DVD:

QTGMC()
SRestore(frate=25)
CropResize(704,576, 6,62,-6,-64, InDAR=15.0/11.0, OutDAR=4.0/3.0, Borders=true)
CropResize(720,576, InDAR=4.0/3.0, NoResize=true, Borders=true)

mpeg4 video is not PAL DVD. The OP was not clear what he really wanted though .....

Yeah, it was just meant to be a resolution example.

Edit: Although thinking about it, even though it means upscaling a bit more, for a DVD a 16:9 DAR would make more sense for this one.
Not that it matters if JAX75 wants an MKV.
