NTSC or PAL? That is the question...

[TruthOverFacts]

Can this be fixed? I would like to make it 23.976p. Is srestore my best option?

The pattern is four interlaced, then one progressive. I've never seen anything like this.

bob it and then tell us what the pattern is

To me it looks like standard 2:3 pulldown, at least in theory, but there is some ghosting/blurring on the telecined fields I don't quite understand.

Maybe try something like this as it seems to clean some of it up. Cropping and resizing is optional of course, but the cropping and resizing below gets you to exactly 4:3.

FFVideoSource("E:\faclip.mkv", cachefile="E:\faclip.ffindex")
Crop(22,0,-6,-8)
Yadif(mode=1)
SRestore(frate=24000.0/1001.0)
CropResize(0,0, 2,2,0,0, InSAR=10.0/11.0, ResizeWO=true)

Or if you don't like the shimmering and don't mind denoising.

FFVideoSource("E:\faclip.mkv", cachefile="E:\faclip.ffindex")
Crop(22,0,-6,-8)
QTGMC(Ezenoise=3)
SRestore(frate=24000.0/1001.0)
CropResize(0,0, 2,2,0,0, InSAR=10.0/11.0, ResizeWO=true)
