Carl,

yes, the filter chain is *extremely* sensitive. I have been trying to 
get this to work for months (actually had given up on it) until I ran 
across some post somewhere for another device that talked about the 
tinterlace=4 and then the filmdint with softskip (plus -fps and -ofps). 
I was delighted to find out it worked. Again, if you want me to upload 
the sample and you find some other means to take the input and recreate 
film I would be more than receptive.

I'd even stick some effort into my little tool YAMF and make it support 
ffmpeg on top of mencoder. After all, I have heard too many times that 
mencoder is not supported despite its large fan base. But I'd rather 
keep the functions afloat than insist on a particular piece of software.
