How to deint. a video that contains both telecined and interlaced frames?

Using Avisynth. See the attached clip. Are there some special parameters for TFM for such cases?

What's wrong with TFM().TDecimate() ? From a quick glance, it looks fine to me.

Maybe it's skipping good frames from the interlaced scenes?

Doesn't look interlaced, looks telecined to me,..

It's mostly 24p with pulldown. But there are some 30p sequences -- the drummer at about the 10 second mark.

So your options are:
a. go for 23.976
b. go for 30p
c. go for vfr
d. keep it interlaced
your choice.

I think I'm gonna use option a. What's better between:

QTGMC(Preset="Slow", FPSDivisor=1)
TDecimate(mode=7)

or

TFM(slow=2, pp=7, clip2=QTGMC(fpsdivisor=2))
TDecimate()

?

Or go for 60p which will look the same (in terms of smoothness) as playing the original mixed rate MPEG video on a 60p display.

In this case QTGMC generates lots of duplicate frames (actually very similar but not 100% identical)

Of course it does. Just like a 60p TV would do with the source.

You could also go for 60p and replace the duplicates with interpolated frames using FillDrops or similar.
