That inverse telecine thing is the main reason I'm still married to
MEncoder. However, sometimes telecined content I capture is so flawed that
MEncoder's detelecining is not as acceptable as ffmpeg's deinterlacing.

But regarding the original post, I rarely give up on skips and duplicates
until I've tried each of these:
1. "-mc 0"
2. "-mc 0.1"
3. Leave out "-mc"
