I've had good results with Avisynth using:

SelectEven()
decimate(cycle=5)

mm... That method is still throwing one field away.

Is it possible to stil have both fields (ie capping from broadcasts which have native 60fps framerate) and still do a quick decimate?

I always thought that if I did not do a SeparateFields first that SelectEven would take even frames, not even fields.

Am I wrong about this?

I've been playing with some transport streams from Super Bowl advertisements and converting them to DVD.

For the ads that were 23.976 Fps, telecined to 59.94 Fps (the movie ads), I used:SelectEvery(5, 0, 3)
LanczosResize(720,480)after checking the repeat pattern with VirtualDub (4 of the 5 possible combinations work if the sequence doesn't change).

For the ad that was actually 59.94 Fps (ESPN_HD), I used:LanczosResize(720,480)
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4,1,2)
Weave()

@trbarry: my mistake. Missed the absence of SeparateFields().
