Thanks for the 0:30 sample file. Yes, some are interlaced, but not in the
pattern I would expect for telecined video. If you open it in mplayer, you
can pause it at any point by pressing space, then advance frame by frame
using ³.². What I see for the interlacing is the pattern of 3 frames
interlaced followed by 3 frames non-interlaced. Please try that and let me
know if you agree. Pulldown would be interlaced frames 4 and 5 of every 5,
I believe. Here¹s a yadif filter chain that did the same thing as the one
I mailed you privately using -deinterlace, except probably better. Thanks
again.

ffmpeg -i test1.mkv -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -vf
³yadif=0,fps=fps=30000/1001" -preset slower -crf 18 -x264opts
keyint=40:bitrate=1800:qpmin=8:qpmax=28:qpstep=4 test1.m4v
