How to properly deinterlace mixed content (unusual patterns)?

[elektro]

I'm trying to deinterlace a video (preferably with QTGMC) that has a weird pattern of progressive and interlaced content. I uploaded a sample. How to properly deinterlace this footage to get as few blended frames as possible and no duplicate frames?

Looking at the separated fields, there are tons of blends already in the fields.
I doubt that deinterlacing especially QTGMC will help with such a source, seems like some mishandled norm conversion and some, probably intentional blends,..
So TFM and maybe TDecimate might be better,...
I also doubt you can get rid of the duplicates around scene changes, some of the duplicates inside scene could be replaced with interpolations.
Maybe someone else has a good idea.

Thanks for reply. It seems that these blended frames are a fairly common nuisance when it comes to DVD content. I decided to use QTGMC + SRestore (as you know, QTGMC also makes the image smoother than TFM):

QTGMC(Preset="Medium", MatchPreset="Slow", Sharpness=0.5)
SRestore(23.976)

Trying to remove blended frames makes the video look unnatural. I guess I'll just leave them there.
