In my journey to convert some movies, i use some command on ffmpeg for analyze the video frame and sometime give strange things

Tell chatgpt and say there are interlaced BFF but with a lot of progressive frames and undetermined  
Put in hybrid and say is TFF

how handle this?

Don't trust such automated analysis results, read [INFO] Interlacing patterns and figure out whether the source is telecined, interlaced (tff or bff), field shifted, progressive or a mix of everything.

Flags can be wrong, heuristics are often wrong, without a sample with horizontal motion the source might be telecined.

So need to watch frame by frame in external player like vlc? In in the player inside hybrid?
On hybrid in a clip with bob I see A B A BB A B A BB A B A BB and so on....without bob I se AAAA B AAAA B AAAA B....

Using the Vapoursynth Preview should be fine.
The rest is written down in the linked thread.

What ?
No clue what you want to communicate with that. No clue what A and B should represent.

Ps.: I can look at it if you can share a link to a small (unprocessed) sample of the source.

sorry, wanna say A is good frame, b is freezed frame 
so  forward  stop  forward stop  stop

"forward stop forward stop stop "
so from a cycle of 5 you would keep just 0 and 2.
So I would use TIVTC with mode 7 and a target frame rate of 23.976 and if that does not work properly you could.
1. Bob deinterlacing with QTGMC
2. Use SelectEvery with a cycle of 5 and '0 2' as frames to keep
