This was 1080i HD broadcast of a movie.  I am quite confused overall how a
progressive 23.97ps movie can be broadcast in different ways.  The above was
the worst of I have seen.  It was a KLRU broadcast of Jane Eyre (1996) with
black bars around, except the bars were not completely black so cropdetect
did not work on it.  I also recorded Bruce Almighty OTA from Fox.  It was
720p reported as 59.94fps progressive.  I could not observe a clear frame
duplication pattern though.

I also prefer yadif!

Thanks for your comments.
