Are you sure your input is really 30fps? If you have 60 fps and try to
treat it like 30, you will get two seconds of video where there should
be one and A/V sync will be way off, resulting in "Too many video
packets in the buffer" errors spamming your terminal. Change -fps to
60000/1001 and try filmdint=io=30:24/fast=0 (this works for me; YMMV) or
filmdint=io=60:24/fast=0 instead of pullup. pullup works fine for DVDs,
but filmdint works better for other kinds of IVTC.
