Thank you very much!  I tried the filmdint filter and -fps 60000/1001 -ofps
24000/1001 and the result was a sped up video.

I also run a sample just with: -vf filmdint=fast=0,softskip,harddup and -fps
30000/1001 -ofps 24000/1001 the speed was back to normal, however, there are
some yellow blocks along the top edge of the image which was not in the
original.  The frames are not repeated, but the "quality" is not completely
even.  It would be ok if not for the yellow blocks.

Thanks for bringing filmdint to my attention. I overlooked it and considered
pullup only until now.

I am rerunning with the verbose option to see exactly what is going on.
Thanks,
Matyas
