I don't know if I'm legally allowed to link it---it's on archive.org though. If it's important and it's okay for me to do so, I'll post the link.
It's a .ts file of a TV show (Dragon Ball GT) recorded from a 1080i channel (FujiTV) in Japan. Yup, unfortunately it's interlaced too. 29.97 FPS, needs to be brought back to 23.97.
I suspect someone recorded the channel feed to a rewriteable Blu-Ray or something, I don't know.
EDIT: Selur gave permission and asked for it. Here is the file for anyone reading, it is quite large (2.2GB), make sure you're not on mobile data. https://archive.org/download/DBGTF2B/Dra...0AAC%29.ts
Well here's a still picture from the episode. https://i.imgur.com/j7gDOeE.jpeg
Hmm. Very clearly 1920x1080 with heavy black bars to keep it centered (as the show was originally 4:3).
MediaInfo says it's 1440x1080... 16:9. So it gets half of it right.
Hybrid recognizes the file as 1440x1080. Any attempt to crop it, eats into the actual show, as it doesn't recognize what's on the sides.
HandBrake recognizes it as having a stored resolution of 1440x1080, and a displayed resolution of 1920x1080.
Using HandBrake, I was able to "upscale" it to 1920x1080, 16:9, the file then properly functions as if it always was 1920x1080. Here were my settings: https://i.imgur.com/US2CttO.png
It's quite inconvenient (and not great for what I want to do in restoring the show because HandBrake is not as good of a deinterlacer as Hybrid) to have to process the video in HandBrake to then finally edit in Hybrid.
And yet, nothing else seems to work. Altering the resolution or aspect ratio options in MKVToolNix don't impact anything.
My last option was going to be the nuclear approach of dumping the video into .pngs using ffmpeg, then rebuilding it into a video. The only issue... is that ffmpeg churns out squished 1440x1080 frames, because it isn't ACTUALLY 1440x1080. Proof: https://i.imgur.com/39BAgTS.jpeg
