10.10.5. I am able to convert the 23.98 source to 29.97, and the encoded
file *is* technically interlaced, but the actual frame-rate conversion to
29.97 seems to be happening using progressive pulldown (i.e. repeated full
frames), even though the file itself is flagged as having UFF interlacing.

able to convert the 23.98 master QuickTime files to broadcast-spec'ed,
interlaced 29.97 ProRes files with true interlaced 3:2 pulldown, so that
they look smooth when played on-air.

Perhaps telecine filter is what you need?

I'm also using the Kostya ProRes encoder, as I have been led to believe
that the other ProRes encoders in FFmpeg don't support interlaced output?

lack of interlaced pulldown. I've spent all day scouring the web, as well
as a dump of "ffmpeg -h full", but I can't seem to figure out how to get
this to work.  Any help would be most appreciated.
