At least one space battle definitely has 29.97p content. Someone posted in another forum a sample. How many scenes like this ? I never got into watching DS9 compared to the other series

Some people reported "interlaced" . But is there actually any real interlaced content in this series ? By that I mean actual content with 59.94 different moments in time . Not some interlaced fade, not text overlays, or some orphan field.



My opinion #1 - Single rate anything - IVTC, deinterlace, whatever - will be jerky in sections because you have mixed content. VFR is the only way to have everything run at the correct frame rate.

My opinion #2 - One filter for everything is works good on some sections, but not so good on others. Definitely I would filter the problem aliasing sections selectively , otherwise you kill the details on 95% of the other sections. Counterproductive when upscaling. Analogy - A F1 car is great on a track, but sucks on city streets with potholes or offroading. A 4x4 is great for off roading but sucks on the track.
