Hi folks,

I have media except one scene it's progressive. Haven't been sure about what is I'm dealing with it. Checked for interlacing, ringing etc. Screens and sampler video is below.

Negative Format Video (HDTV)
Cinematographic Process HDCAM
Printed Film Format 35 mm

Encoded as progressive without proper deinterlacing.

Any solution is possible?

That sample is upscaled SD that wasn't deinterlaced before upscaling and was then encoded progressive. You want to downscale back to 576 line SD, deinterlace, then upscale back to 1080p. The result won't be perfect but it will be better:

LWLibavVideoSource("sampler01.mkv") 
BilinearResize(720,576)
QTGMC()
SelectEven()
nnedi3_rpow2(2, cshift="Spline36Resize", fwidth=1920, fheight=1080) # or Spline36Resize(1920,1080)

Try a quick and dirty fix like

assumeTFF()
separatefields().selecteven()
bilinearresize(1920,280).lanczosresize(1920,540)
nnedi3(dh=true)
sharpen(0,0.5)

Edit: forget this -> jagabo's method is the correct way to fix it.

Thank you @jagabo and all other folks! Appreciated.

In this case the scaling back to 576 lines was pretty clean. I used BilinearResize instead of a sharper resize because the video was oversharped when it was upscaled. But if you want a sharper downscale you can use BicubicResize(), Spline36Resize(), whatever. Also, you don't have to downscale horizontally. You could just downscale vertically, deinterlace, then upscale.

LWLibavVideoSource("sampler01.mkv") 
BilinearResize(width,576) # or some other resize filter
QTGMC(FPSDivisor=2)
Spline36Resize(width, 1080)

QTGMC() in the larger frame will be slower. Of course, you can use some other deinterlacer but it won't look as good.
