I used Decomb 5 b16 and the following script:

Telecide(order=1,guide=1)
Decimate(mode=3,theshold=1.0)

It gave out a lot of blended frames as it went out of pattern often. I recently tried that script on a later Simpsons episode (which was 89% film), and it gave better results than SmartDecimate (a lot of deinterlacing artifacts, more than usual). Still some blending but the motion was a lot smoother overall. SmartDecimate wasn't perfect on the original test but there were less ghost effects. But it was only 67% film according to DVD2AVI so maybe the original frames aren't completely recoverable.

I haven't tried v0.20 of SmartDecimate yet though....
