I believe Telecide() would shift it back, correct? Or would there need to be a parameter to insert in those there parenthesis?

Correct. Please refer to the documentation for parameter descriptions. Often the defaults you get if you don't specify anything are fine.

Of course, if you have interlaced video and you don't mind deinterlacing it, then sure, just apply DGPulldown. But if you want to change the rate ofinterlaced material while keeping it interlaced (full temporal content), then the long method can be used. You got blends because you used blend mode when you deinterlaced. But DO NOT deinterlace progressive content; use a field matcher like Telecide() to realign the progressive frames, then apply DGPulldown.
