I'm afraid that didn't work either. The results were much the same as
with -ovc raw; telecined output and lots of skipped frames.

If anyone's sufficiently interested in this problem, I've put an even
shorter sample of what I'm trying to encode at
http://www.vu.union.edu/~gnoutchd/sw7d-telecine-2.avi
    (1 second, 9.1 MiB)

# Not telecined after detc
mencoder sw7d-telecine-2.avi \
    -vf detc,softskip -ofps 24000/1001 \
    -oac pcm -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=10000 \
    -o test-detc.avi

# Not telecined after ivtc
mencoder sw7d-telecine-2.avi \
    -vf ivtc,softskip -ofps 24000/1001 \
    -oac pcm -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=10000 \
    -o test-ivtc.avi

# Still telecined after pullup
mencoder sw7d-telecine-2.avi \
    -vf pullup=2:2:4:4:-1:0,softskip,softskip -ofps 24000/1001\
    -oac pcm -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=10000 \
    -o test-pullup.avi

This matches what I see when trying to encode the whole movie.

FWIW, I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 and using a self-compiled mencoder
based on yesterday's SVN (but the version included in Ubuntu's
repositories has the same behavior).

Thanks very much,
Daniel
