In my first message with the links to the samples: "If I use a crop
filter prior to filmdint, the chroma artifacts go away, but the MPEG-2
field-order flags are destroyed and filmdint doesn't generate smooth
video."

pullup doesn't look at the field flags and so doesn't work well with
mixed frame rate input.

It's looking like 'softskip' *before* filmdint may be working for me.
I'm re-encoding some longer videos now to see.
