I have a video which was posted on the archive.org, but obviously captured from a commercial web site. There is also a copy of the same movie on YouTube, but it also has the same problems. Since it has my grandfather in the cast I want to restore it using some good software that I already have.
I have tried various strategies to detelecine it to nominal 24fps without success. I get the 3 P frames perfectly, but the 2 I frames come out scrambled. If the 5 telecined frames are labeled Ap,Bp,Cp and Di,Ei and the original 4th frame of the move as D The Di has parts of Cp as well D in both T and B, then Ei has pieces of D and A2p, but something is scrambled. Bobbing it TFF I see what looks like interlace lines from C and D in Dit and similar mixtures in Dib, Eit, Eib. Deinterlacing with VirtualDub creates a messy D, but good ABC. I have an avisyth procedure which often works on ghosted videos and produces more horrible results. I think this might have been a deliberate scramble which would look ok on the old SD TVs, but not on the web or new HD TVs.
I have provided both an original clip and a bobbed clip at.

I am very expert with VirtualDub, but a novice with avisynth. Any help would be appreciated. It seems to be a ghosted telecine in a pattern which repeats every 4.5 lines.
