That was my original thread. I've worked through various combination of interlaced, progressive, telecined, filmrate, etc. I've worked out various ffmpeg settings that work for most of these situations. Post if you have one that you are not happy with (for mixed progressive interlaced, I use 

-vf idet,yadif=mode=1:deint=interlaced,fps=fps=60000/1001

and that has worked. You can remove the fps filter at the end if you don't care about producing CFR video.
